Description
Connor Sheehan and three co-authors study how wealth and debt link to thinking and self-care problems in older Americans. Past work stressed schooling and pay, but wealth sums up a whole life of gains and losses. Debt may also act as a stress of its own. The 2024 study joins a large survey to new map-based wealth scores for each home.
The linked data cover more than seven hundred thousand adults aged sixty-five and older. Trouble with thought and self-care fell as wealth rose, at each age. Being in debt near doubled the chance of such trouble, and the link beat those for schooling and pay. The pattern was strongest for white adults and in places with much debt.
