In the oldest old, these considerations are especially important - as members of this generation have survived through systematic prejudice and discrimination in a time where their identity was outlawed and labeled by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as a mental illness. Socioeconomic status
Socioeconomic status is the interaction between social and economic factors. It has been demonstrated that sociodemographic factors can be used to predict cognitive profiles within older individuals to some extent. This may be because families of higher socioeconomic status are equipped to provide their children with resources early on to facilitate cognitive development. For children in families of low SES, relatively small changes in parental income were associated with large changes in brain surface area; these losses were seen in areas associated with language, reading, executive functions, and spatial skills. Meanwhile, for children in families of high SES, small changes in parental income were associated with small changes in surface area within these regions. With respect to global cortical thickness, low SES children showed a curvilinear decrease in thickness with age while those of high SES demonstrated a steeper linear decline, suggesting that synaptic pruning is more efficient in the latter group. This trend was especially evident in the left fusiform and left superior temporal gyri - critical language and literacy supporting areas. See also
