Description
Stamos and co-authors ask in a 2025 study whether the area where a patient lives links to brain size in people with memory loss. They looked at 310 patients over age 50 from Virginia and North Carolina who had care at a memory center. Home areas were scored for hardship, and brain scans gave measures of the hippocampus and nearby fluid spaces.
Patients from the most strained areas made up only a small share of the group. The team matched patients on other traits and then compared scan results across area scores. Work like this helps show whether place and wealth shape brain health, and whether clinics should weigh a patient's home setting when they plan care and support.
