Lifecourse Stressors and Social Disparities in Cognitive Aging: The Roles of Social Networks and Sleep Disturbance
Description: Project Narrative This proposal outlines a training and research plan to determine the effects of psychosocial stressors on Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias (ADRD), including the total effects, whether social networks buffer that effect, and whether sleep disturbance is a pathway from psychosocial stressors to ADRD. The research is relevant to NIA’s mission and the priority of the 2012 National Alzheimer’s Project Act to address social disparities in ADRD.
