Key Points

  • To examine how life-course socioeconomic position influences brain volumes in later life.
  • Comparative analysis of brain volumes in relation to socioeconomic position across the lifespan.
  • Assessment of socioeconomic conditions during early life and adulthood.
  • Higher life-course socioeconomic position correlates with larger brain volumes in later life.
  • The impact of early-life socioeconomic disadvantages extends into adulthood, affecting brain health.

Abstract

This study highlights the contribution of higher life-course SEP to greater brain health as indexed by larger brain volumes in later life. Our results suggest that the effect of early-life socioeconomic disadvantages persists beyond socioeconomic conditions in adulthood.
