Can socioeconomic disadvantage explain cognitive differences in later life? Insights from the Indonesia family life survey.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Cognitive decline, including cognitive impairment non-dementia (CIND) and dementia, is a growing public health concern, particularly in ageing populations within developing countries. Socioeconomic status (SES) is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of cognitive ageing, yet evidence from low- and middle-income contexts remains limited. This study investigates the relationship between SES and later-life cognitive outcomes in Indonesia. Methods: We analysed longitudinal data from Waves 4 and 5 of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS), involving 3,087 participants aged 50 years and older at baseline (Wave 4). Cognitive outcomes, including CIND and dementia, were assessed seven years later using an adapted version of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS). Multilevel ordinal regression was employed to evaluate the association between SES indicators at baseline-such as education, income, residential location, and participation in community-based older adults health posts ( Results: At follow-up, 38% of the sample exhibited CIND, and 19% were classified as having dementia. Higher levels of formal education, greater income, urban residence, and engagement in Discussion: Findings suggest that SES disparities contribute to cognitive decline in later life. Interventions aimed at improving educational attainment, economic conditions, and community health access among older adults may serve as critical strategies to mitigate the future burden of dementia. Reducing social inequalities in health should therefore be prioritized in dementia prevention policies within low-resource settings.
