Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study the impact of sex as a moderator on health outcomes related to upward mobility and Alzheimer's Disease risk in young adults.
Description
This project investigates how adolescent mobility opportunities influence cognitive health and Alzheimer's Disease risk, with a focus on sex differences and biological risk factors. It hypothesizes that sex-specific vulnerabilities lead to more physical health risks in early adulthood for females with greater mobility opportunities, negatively affecting cognitive outcomes and brain structure/function.
