Abstract

Neighborhood and individual level socioeconomic status (SES) are important for brain and cognitive health. In a sample of 17,906 individuals from the UK Biobank, interaction analyses revealed that low individual-level SES individuals living in highly deprived neighborhoods had the greatest amount of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and lowest fluid intelligence.
