Given concerns of reporting biases in the exit interview data, we also considered adjustments to this data prior to imputation. Compared to the base model with no adjustment, estimated cognitive decline in the 80+ age group was 42.2%, 17.1%, 14.2%, and 42.1% greater for the model with IPW, joint model, model with imputations, and model with adjusted imputations, respectively. IPW-based estimates were more variable (i.e., had larger standard errors) than other methods. The percentage difference was smaller for age groups with lower mortality (e.g., 13.9% for the model with adjusted imputations in the 60-69 age group). Results highlight the potential impact of accounting for mortality. Comparisons of methods suggest some heterogeneity in estimates and highlights potential of using imputations with adjusted end-oflife interview data.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.1859  \nSOCIAL ISOLATION AND COGNITIVE AGING: ARE OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS CREATING A  \nREPRODUCIBILITY CRISIS?  \nRuijia Chen1, Dylan Tran2, Jingxuan Wang3, Erin Ferguson3, Mary Thoma3, Ashwin Kotal3, Jacqueline Torres3, and  \nM.

University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States  \nResearch on social isolation and health shows conflicting findings, potentially due to methodological differences in defining social isolation. We conducted multiverse analyses to examine how varying definitions affect associations with cognitive function and decline. Using the 2010-2020 Health and Retirement Study (n=12,975), we defined social isolation using 16 items related to marital status, living arrangements, social interaction frequency, and participation in social activities.We created continuous and binary composite scores based on all possible combinations of these items, using top tertile and quartile cutoffs for binary definitions. Cognitive function was measured using the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status, with scores standardized to baseline. Linear mixed-effects models evaluated associations between each definition and cognitive level/decline, adjusting for age, sex, race, and education. Across 196,587 model choices, most models indicated a negative association between social isolation and cognitive function level, with point estimates ranging from very large to nearly null (-0.31 to 0.01 standard deviations average difference across binary social isolation specifications). Most models also suggested social isolation was associated with faster cognitive decline (-0.001 to 0.03 standard deviations average annual difference across binary specifications).While social isolation appears associated with lower cognitive function levels and faster cognitive decline, the magnitude of these associations varies widely depending on how social isolation is defined.  \nSESSION 4285 (SYMPOSIUM)   \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.1860  \nSOCIAL CONVOYS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN AND LINKS WITH LATER-LIFE WELL-BEING AND SOCIETAL TRUST  \nChair: Rita Hu  \nCo-Chair: Noah Webster  \nDiscussant: Elaine Wethington  \nSocial relationships evolve across the lifespan and have great potential to shape individual and societal outcomes.This symposium examines how early-life bonds, caregiving experiences, and social network characteristics influence aging trajectories and their broader implications for macro-level societal trust. Drawing on multiple population-level and longitudinal studies, this set of papers together highlight recent innovations in social convoy research.
