- Higher cumulative modified Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) score is linked to slower cognitive decline in later life.
- The study included participants from HRS and ELSA cohorts, with consistent results across both.
- An increase in cumulative LE8 score per SD was associated with slower decline in global cognition, executive function, memory, and orientation.
- Maintaining long-term optimal cardiovascular health is emphasized for preventing cognitive decline.
