# Poverty's Impact on Brain Ageing Exceeds Cancer's, Study Finds
A new study by the Aga Khan University Brain and Mind Institute has found that poverty may have a greater influence on healthy brain ageing than a cancer diagnosis. The research, conducted in Nairobi, highlights the significant role that socioeconomic conditions play in shaping long-term cognitive health.
The findings underscore the importance of socioeconomic factors in determining brain health outcomes across populations. By demonstrating that poverty's impact on cognitive ageing surpasses that of major health conditions like cancer, the study points to broader implications for public health policy and intervention strategies focused on brain health in Africa.
