“…Instrumental and emotional bridging capital were assessed separately by calculating the number of non-street alters who were nominated as providers of emotional and instrumental resource. Murayama et al (2013) The study examined the longitudinal associations of bonding and bridging social capital with self-rated health, depressive mood, and cognitive decline in community-dwelling older Japanese.…”

Context Some evidence suggests that treating vascular risk factors and performing mentally stimulating activities may delay cognitive impairment onset in older adults. Exposure to a complex neighborhood environment may be one mechanism to help delay cognitive decline. Evidence acquisition PubMed, Web of Science, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Global database were systematically reviewed, identifying 25 studies published from February 1, 1989 to March 5, 2016 (data synthesized, May 3, 2015–October 7, 2016). The review restricted to quantitative studies focused on: (1) neighborhood social and built environment and cognition; and (2) community-dwelling adults aged ≥45 years. Evidence synthesis The majority of studies were cross-sectional, U.S.-based, and found at least one significant association. The diversity of measures and neighborhood definitions limited the synthesis of findings in many instances. Evidence was moderately strong for an association between neighborhood SES and cognition and modest for associations between neighborhood demographics, design, and destination accessibility and cognition. Most studies examining effect modification found significant associations, with some evidence for effect modification of the neighborhood SES–cognition association by individual-level SES. No studies had low risk of bias and many tested multiple associations that increased the chance of a statistically significant finding. Considering the studies to date, the evidence for an association between neighborhood characteristics and cognition is modest. Conclusions Future studies should include longitudinal measures of neighborhood characteristics and cognition, examine potential effect modifiers such as sex and disability, and study mediators that may help elucidate the biological mechanisms linking neighborhood environment and cognition.

“…The first category comprises cross-sectional studies, which use data collected at a certain survey time or pooled from waves, and address the contemporaneous association between social capital and health 8 11–13. The second category comprises prospective cohort studies, which focus on how social capital in a baseline year explains health outcomes or changes in a follow-up year 9 10 14–18…”

“…SRH has been often used as a comprehensive proxy of general health conditions in social epidemiology, as it has been found repeatedly to be a valid predictor of mortality and morbidity 27 28. Psychological distress, measured by Kessler six (K6) scores, was another focus in the current study, considering that an increasing body of work has investigated the association between social capital and mental illness and depressive mood 8 10 16 29…”
