Associations of place-based social determinants of health with biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

This study investigated how neighborhood disadvantage, social vulnerability, and environmental injustice (place-based social determinants of health, SDoH) relate to Alzheimer's disease biomarkers. It found that SDoH measures were significantly higher among Black participants compared to White participants. Crucially, these higher SDoH measures were associated with worse neuroimaging biomarkers (like lower cortical thickness and higher cerebral blood flow variability) exclusively among Black participants, not White participants.

Mental health and well-being from childhood to adulthood: design, methods and results of the 11-year follow-up of the BELLA study

This 11-year follow-up study of German children, adolescents, and young adults found that general health and well-being tend to decline with age and are higher in males than females. Childhood mental health problems significantly predict poorer health outcomes in young adulthood, highlighting the need for early intervention and preventive measures, especially for children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. A substantial number of children and adolescents with diagnosed mental disorders do not receive treatment.
