Chen L, et al. – Via performing a longitudinal study, researchers examined the association of poverty with the risk of incident cognitive impairment in China. Data were obtained from three waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (2008–2014). They found that cognitive impairment had a cumulative incidence of 30.69% over 6 years, and the risk of incident cognitive impairment in the elderly increased with poverty by 34% after controlling behavioral factors and health status covariates. Upon further subgroup analyses, the investigators noted higher poverty risks on incident cognitive impairment among participants who were male, lived in urban areas, and were married.
