Characteristics of urban neighbourhood environments and cognitive age in mid-age and older adults.
Health & Place 2023 July 12
In this cross-sectional study, we examined the extent to which features of the neighbourhood natural, built, and socio-economic environments were related to cognitive age in adults (N = 3418, Mage = 61 years) in Australia. Machine learning estimated an individual's cognitive age from assessments of processing speed, verbal memory, premorbid intelligence. A 'cognitive age gap' was calculated by subtracting chronological age from predicted cognitive age and was used as a marker of cognitive age. Greater parkland availability and higher neighbourhood socio-economic status were associated with a lower cognitive age gap score in confounder- and mediator-adjusted regression models. Cross-sectional design is a limitation. Living in affluent neighbourhoods with access to parks maybe beneficial for cognitive health, although selection mechanisms may contribute to the findings.
