Longitudinal associations of effort and reward at work with changes in cognitive function: evidence from a national study of U.S. workers.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to examine longitudinal associations of workplace effort and reward with changes in cognitive function among United States workers.

Methods

Data from the national, population-based Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study with a 9-year follow-up were used. Validated workplace effort and reward scales were measured at baseline, and cognitive outcomes (including composite cognition, episodic memory, and executive functioning) were measured with the Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone (BTACT) at baseline and follow-up. Multivariable linear regression analyses based on generalized estimating equations (GEE) examined the longitudinal associations under study.

Results

Among this worker sample of 1,399, after accounting for demographics, soc
