Brains age faster among residents in disadvantaged neighborhoods
By Amerigo Allegretto
MRI data show that living in disadvantaged neighborhoods is tied to adverse brain health.
September 15, 2026
National and state neighborhood-level disadvantage rankings of the study patients. (A) National disadvantage rankings are shown. Left: area deprivation scores mapped onto the state of Wisconsin, where the study sample resides, with national ranking deciles shown. Blue indicates less disadvantaged neighborhoods, whereas red indicates more disadvantaged neighborhoods. Right: histogram quantifying the number of patients in each Area Deprivation Index (ADI) decile. (B) Same as A, but state ranking deciles are shown. The distributions of both the national and state-level ADI rankings of the patients were skewed toward less disadvantaged neighborhoods. Maps were obtained from reference 36.
