Psychosocioeconomic Precariousness, Cognitive Decline and Risk of Developing Dementia: A 25-Year Study

Abstract

Psychosocioeconomic precariousness is associated with greater cognitive decline and increased risk of developing dementia. This relationship can be explained in light of the concept of cognitive reserve and strengthens the need to consider psychosocioeconomic precariousness of elderly individuals in the definition of successful ageing policies.
