Socioeconomic inequalities linked to the transitioning to neurocognitive disorders and mortality.

ABSTRACT: Research on socioeconomic position (SEP) and mild neurocognitive impairment, considered a transient state between normal cognitive function and dementia is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of SEP in transitioning between different cognitive states and mortality risk. Using nationally representative English data and utilising a multistate model association between SEP and the risk of transitioning from no cognitive impairment (NOCI) to Cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND), dementia and death were investigated. The potential reverse transition from CIND to NOCI was also explored. The probabilities of transitioning between cognitive states and time spent in each state differed significantly between those with lower and higher levels of SEP. Higher wealth was ass
