Description
Darlingtina Esiaka and Elizabeth Luth test pathways from neighborhood disorder to cognition in older adults in a 2023 study. Messy surroundings, from graffiti to public drinking, link to worse cognition and dementia risk. Sleep quality and social cohesion might carry that effect. A national aging survey from 2021 supplied the sample.
Over twenty-five hundred adults aged seventy and up were studied. Staff rated physical disorder on a short scale. Those taking part rated trust where they live and their recent sleep. Thinking was tested across memory, orientation, and executive tasks. Greater disorder tied clearly to worse scores on those tasks. Social cohesion carried much of that link in the models. Sleep quality did not carry the link, though better sleep still tracked better thinking. The authors highlight local bonds as a protective channel. Spending on the area may defend thinking in part through such bonds.
