Cognitive trajectories and their relationships with education and diets among older adults: a network-based 10-year cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Few studies have examined the underlying mechanisms of education, diets, and cognitive function in older adults. This study analyses the relationship between cognitive trajectories, education, and different dietary patterns in older adults from a network perspective, and further explores their longitudinal associations and mediation effects.

Methods

Data on cognitive trajectories were derived from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) between 2008 and 2018. Group-Based Trajectory Model (GBTM) was used to identify potential heterogeneity in the longitudinal changes in cognitive function. Multinomial logistic regression and network analysis were then applied to examine the relationships between different cognitive trajectories and years of educat
