Description
Kiana Scambray and co-authors published this 2025 study on how people rate their own social standing and how that rating ties to the brain. Where people place themselves on the social ladder predicts health beyond income or schooling. Few studies separate standing in the whole country from standing in one's own community. Fewer still ask how the link varies across race and gender lines.
The sample held 867 older adults from a New York aging project. Brain health was read from scans as white matter damage, gray matter size, memory-center size, and cortex thickness. Memory reserve was what memory scores held beyond what scans explained. Models adjusted for background traits, then tested whether standing predicted each brain measure differently across groups. The work extends social-factor research on dementia risk.
