Weden MM, et al. - Researchers analyzed rural-urban disparities in the prevalence of probable dementia and cognitive impairment without dementia (CIND). Larger gains in rural adults’ cognitive functioning between 2000 and 2010 showed long-term public health benefits of investment in secondary education. These were associated with increased educational attainment. Among rural adults, persistent disadvantages in cognitive functioning compared with sociodemographically similar urban peers underscored the importance of public health planning for more rapidly aging rural communities.
