OBJECTIVE
Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we estimated the average causal effect of neighborhood disadvantage in adolescence on memory performance in young adulthood. We contrasted several different ways of operationalizing a continuous measure of neighborhood disadvantage including a continuous neighborhood disadvantage score and ordinal measures.
RESULTS
Neighborhood disadvantage was measured in Wave I when participants were a mean age of 15.41 years (SE: 0.12) and memory performance was measured in Wave IV when participants were a mean age of 28.24 years (SE: 0.12). We found that adolescent neighborhood disadvantage was associated with decreased memory performance in young adulthood. Notably, we observed a linear decline in word recall score among those in the less disadvantaged tail of the distribution (neighborhood disadvantage <1), a finding not observed using traditional ordinal variable classifications of disadvantage.
CONCLUSION
Experiencing neighborhood disadvantage in adolescence may have lasting impacts on cognitive health throughout the life course.
目的
利用全国青少年纵向健康研究的数据，我们估计了青少年时期邻里劣势对成年早期记忆表现的平均因果效应。我们对比了几种不同的操作化连续邻里劣势衡量方法，包括连续邻里劣势评分和有序衡量方法。
结果
邻里劣势在参与者平均年龄为 15.41 岁（SE：0.12）的第一波中进行测量，而记忆表现则在参与者平均年龄为 28.24 岁（SE：0.12）的第四波中进行测量。我们发现，青少年时期的邻里劣势与成年早期的记忆表现下降有关。值得注意的是，我们观察到处于劣势分布尾部（邻里劣势<1）的人的单词召回分数呈线性下降，而使用传统的劣势有序变量分类则没有观察到这种情况。
结论
青少年时期经历邻里劣势可能会对整个生命历程中的认知健康产生持久影响。
