Dr. Zang is a part of the team that has recently published “Housing prices, homeownership, and cognitive functioning in later life: evidence from China” on The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences. Using longitudinal data from older Chinese adults (2011–2018), this study found that rising housing prices were associated with better cognitive functioning among homeowners, particularly in mental intactness, but not among non-homeowners. Benefits were greatest for socioeconomically disadvantaged homeowners and were partly explained by improved financial security, fewer depressive symptoms, and greater leisure participation. The findings identify housing wealth as an important social determinant of cognitive health in later life.View Publication: https://doi.org/10.1093/geronb/gbag066
