Among 3,869 California LGBTQIA+ adults aged 50+, 14.7% reported subjective cognitive decline, which is linked to lower socioeconomic position and higher odds (OR 1.44–1.93).
- Why it matters: The study addresses which socioeconomic and socioenvironmental factors most strongly relate to subjective cognitive decline in midlife and older LGBTQIA+ adults, a group often underrepresented in cognitive health research.
- What they did: In a cross-sectional community-engaged survey, logistic regression tested associations between socioeconomic position and socioenvironmental indicators and SCD, and dominance analysis ranked each indicator by variance explained.
- The result: Household assets were most important, accounting for 2.8% of SCD variance (95% CI 2.2%, 3.6%), with household income (1.9%) and perceived community safety (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.48, 0.76; 1.6% variance) also contributing.
