About The Study: In this study of 8,000 participants, negative wealth shock (a loss of 75% or more in total wealth over a 2-year period) was associated with accelerated cognitive decline and elevated risks of dementia among middle-aged and older U.S. adults, with modifications by age and ethnicity. These findings should be confirmed by further prospective and interventional studies.
