Socioeconomic Status Transition Throughout Life and Risk of Dementia.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with dementia. However, the role of SES transitions in dementia is less explored; such evidence would be useful to understand whether social mobility is associated with healthy longevity at older ages.

Objective

To investigate the association of lifetime SES transition with risk of dementia.

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective cohort study, conducted from August 2010 to December 2016, used data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study for participants aged 65 years or older from 31 different areas in Japan. Individuals with missing SES values, loss of follow-up, or new dementia onset 1 year or less from baseline were excluded. Data analysis was performed from April 2022 to April 2023.
