Social determinants of health, behavioral factors, and incident dementia: a prospective cohort study.
Addressing both social determinants and lifestyle factors together appears more effective for dementia prevention than targeting single factors alone.
This prospective cohort study in Alzheimer's Research & Therapy examines the combined contribution of social determinants of health and behavioral factors to incident dementia, providing a more complete modifiable-risk-factor picture than single-domain studies. Findings support multi-domain prevention strategies for dementia.
