Abstract:
Objective: Synthesize longitudinal research evaluating neighborhood environments and cognition to identify methodological approaches, findings, and gaps. Methods: Included studies evaluated associations between neighborhood and cognition longitudinally among adults >45 years (or mean age of 65 years) living in developed nations. We extracted data on sample characteristics, exposures, outcomes, methods, overall findings, and assessment of disparities. Results: Forty studies met our inclusion criteria. Most (65%) measured exposure only once and a majority focused on green space and/or blue space (water), neighborhood socioeconomic status, and recreation/physical activity facilities. Similarly, over half studied incident impairment, cognitive function or decline (70%), with one examining MRI (2.5%) or Alzheimer\'s disease (7.5%). While most studies used repeated measures analysis to evaluate changes in the brain health outcome (51%), many studies did not account for any type of correlation within neighborhoods (35%). Less than half evaluated effect modification by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and/or sex/gender. Evidence was mixed and dependent on exposure or outcome assessed. Conclusion: Although longitudinal research evaluating neighborhood and cognitive decline has expanded, gaps remain in types of exposures, outcomes, analytic approaches, and sample diversity.
摘要:
目标:综合纵向研究评估邻里环境和认知,以确定方法论方法,调查结果,和差距。方法:纳入的研究纵向评估了生活在发达国家的>45岁(或平均年龄65岁)的成年人之间的邻里和认知之间的关联。我们提取了样本特征的数据,暴露,结果,方法,总体调查结果,以及对差异的评估。结果:40项研究符合我们的纳入标准。大多数(65%)仅测量一次暴露,大多数集中在绿色空间和/或蓝色空间(水),邻里社会经济地位,和娱乐/体育活动设施。同样,超过一半的研究事件损害,认知功能或下降(70%),其中一项检查MRI(2.5%)或阿尔茨海默病(7.5%)。虽然大多数研究使用重复测量分析来评估大脑健康结果的变化(51%),许多研究没有考虑社区内任何类型的相关性(35%).按种族/民族评估的效果修改不到一半,社会经济地位,和/或性别/性别。证据参差不齐,取决于暴露或评估的结果。结论:尽管评估邻域和认知衰退的纵向研究已经扩大,暴露类型仍然存在差距,结果,分析方法,和样本多样性。
