Resumen

Objectives: To investigate the longitudinal association of life space and neighborhood and built environment (NBE) with subjective memory among individuals 65 and older, and the mediating role of depressive symptoms, a major correlate of life space mobility, NBE, and subjective memory. Methods: We examined community-dwelling participants in the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study (N = 2,622, Mean age = 73.7 years, 24.9% Black) across annual assessments of up to 3 years. Results: Baseline life space and NBE were positively associated with subjective memory, and these associations were partly mediated by depressive symptoms. Over time, higher baseline life space predicted a better subjective memory as one aged. Life space was concurrently associated with subjective memory across time, mediated by concurrent depressive symptoms. Discussion: Potentially modifiable environmental factors such as life space and NBE appear to influence level and change in subjective memory as we age. Interventions supporting movement in our environments may help offset subjective memory problems, a potential early sign of dementia.

The ACTIVE intervention trials were supported by grants from the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Nursing Research to Hebrew Senior Life (U01NR04507), Indiana University School of Medicine (U01NR04508), Johns Hopkins University (U01AG14260), New England Research Institutes (U01AG14282), Pennsylvania State University (U01AG14263), the University of Alabama at Birmingham (U01AG14289), and the University of Florida (U01AG14276). Subsequently, this work was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health for a 20-year follow-up of the ACTIVE Trial (R01 AG056486; Willis and Rebok, MPIs) as well as an Administrative Supplement to this grant to examine SDoH for some outcome measures. Dr. Bell is supported by a grant award to William S. Kremen, Carol E. Franz, and Michael J. Lyons at the University of California San Diego (R01AG050595). Dr. Caitlin Pope is supported by a research career development award (K12DA035150: Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health Program-BIRCWH) from the National Institutes of Health Office of Research on Women’s Health and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Drs. Wallace, Thorpe and Rebok are supported by the National Institute on Aging (P30AG059298).
