Abstract

Four distinct multidimensional clusters were identified from a wide range of 72 social determinants of health. These clusters were associated with dementia risk differently in men and women. In both men and women, the most socioeconomically disadvantaged group had a higher risk of dementia. Despite stronger interpersonal social support, women had a greater risk of dementia. The addition of known dementia risk factors in cluster analysis did not change the findings, suggesting that social determinants of health independently predict dementia risk.
