Neighborhood disadvantage was measured with the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and cognitive function with verbal fluency, verbal memory, nonverbal memory, and working memory tasks.

University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, United States, 2. Benedict College, Columbia, South Carolina, United States  \nNeighborhood disadvantage has been linked to worse cognitive performance and greater cognitive decline among older  \nInnovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2 975  \nadults; however, moderators of these associations have not been well studied. Loneliness is a potential moderator of importance—one that also worsens cognitive functioning.  \nGiven the documented influence of neighborhood disadvantage and loneliness on cognitive functioning, it is important to understand whether self-reported loneliness exacerbates this relationship. Therefore, the objective of the study was to examine associations between neighborhood disadvantage and cognitive function, and to examine whether associations are moderated by self-reported loneliness. The analysis included  \n136 older adults (36% male) with a mean age of 68.04y.  \nNeighborhood disadvantage was assessed with the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), that provided state and national rankings of neighborhood deprivation. Cognitive function was assessed with the Verbal Fluency Test (verbal fluency), the Visual Reproductions Test (short-and long-term nonverbal memory), Logical Memory Test (verbal memory) and Digit Span Forward and Backward (working memory) . Self-reported loneliness was measured with the UCLA Loneliness Scale. Multivariable regression analyses were run, adjusted for age, sex, and educational attainment. Results showed that greater national ADI rankings (more disadvantage) were associated with worse short-term nonverbal memory. Similarly, greater state and national ADI rankings were associated with worse long-term nonverbal memory. Additional results showed that loneliness moderated the relationship between national ADI rankings and both types of nonverbal memory. Overall, our findings suggest that greater neighborhood disadvantage may influence select domains of memory, and that one’s self-reported loneliness may influence how this relationship manifests.","cbCainsrvAGXpmMt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainsrvAGXpmMt","pdf",60363,"English","# Abstract\n## Study objective\n## Methods and measures\n## Statistical analysis\n## Key findings\n## Implications","[{\"question\":\"What was the study trying to determine about neighborhood disadvantage and cognition?\",\"answer\":\"The study assessed associations between neighborhood disadvantage and cognitive function in older adults.
