Neighborhood disadvantage and dementia incidence in a cohort of Asian American and non-Latino White older adults in Northern California.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Some evidence suggests that neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with dementia-related outcomes. However, prior research is predominantly among non-Latino Whites.

Methods

We evaluated the association between neighborhood disadvantage (Area Deprivation Index [ADI]) and dementia incidence in Asian American (n = 18,103) and non-Latino White (n = 149,385) members of a Northern California integrated health care delivery system aged 60 to 89 at baseline. Race/ethnicity-specific Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for individual-level age, sex, socioeconomic measures, and block group population density estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for dementia.

Results

Among non-Latino Whites, ADI was associated with dementia incidence (most vs. least disa
