Community environment, cognitive impairment and dementia in later life: results from the Cognitive Function and Ageing Study [PDF]
Background: Few studies have investigated the impact of the community environment, as distinct from area deprivation, on cognition in later life. This study explores cross-sectional associations between cognitive impairment and dementia and environmental
