State and Local Educational Contexts of Older U.S. Adults and Their Association with Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE The proposed research will provide important insights into broader population trends in ADRD prevalence and racial disparities in ADRD by considering how education operates differently to reduce risk for cognitive impairment and dementia under more (or less) advantaged educational contexts. The proposed research is relevant to several NIA priorities in the area of Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias (ADRD), including identifying early life risk and protective factors for ADRD and the linkage of administrative data to existing longitudinal cohort studies.
