BACKGROUND: Both air pollution and low socioeconomic status (SES) are associated with worse cognitive function. The extent to which low SES may compound the adverse effect of air pollution on cognitive function remains unclear. METHODS: 7,087 older adults aged 65 and above were included from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) and followed up in 4 waves during 2008-2018. Cognitive function was measured repeatedly at each wave using the modified Chinese Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Concentrations of particulate matter (PM RESULTS: Each 10 µg/m CONCLUSIONS: SES is an important effect modifier, and lower SES may compound the detrimental effect of PM on cognitive health. This finding may have implications for identifying vulnerable populations and targeted interventions against air pollution.
