Scholars have been increasingly concerned with the linkages between health and cognition in elderly populations, in part because health problems may help to explain cognitive differences between socioeconomic groups To date, however, this explanation not been extensively tested Using the combined Health and Retirement Survey (HRS) and Asset and Health Dynamics (AHEAD) data, I propose to investigate the longitudinal relationship between six common diseases and cognition There are three specific goals (1) assess socioeconomic differences in dimensions of cognitive functioning, (2) assess the extent to which any observed differences can be explained by the higher prevalence of health problems among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, (3) assess the extent to which the relationship between health and cognition varies by features of socioeconomic status, including job characteristics and treatment and insurance status By examining these issues, I hope to better understand the dynamics of health and cognition in old age and lay the groundwork for a larger project.

学者们越来越关注老年人的健康和认知之间的联系，部分原因是健康问题可能有助于解释社会经济群体之间的认知差异。迄今为止，这种解释尚未得到广泛的检验。我建议调查六种常见疾病与认知之间的纵向关系，具体目标有三个：（1）评估认知功能维度的社会经济差异，（2）评估任何观察到的差异在多大程度上可以用社会经济弱势群体中健康问题的更高流行率来解释，（3）评估健康与认知之间的关系在多大程度上因社会经济地位的特征而异，包括工作特点和待遇和保险状况通过研究这些问题，我希望更好地了解老年人的健康和认知动态，并为更大的项目奠定基础。
