Latent profile analysis (LPA) captures lifestyle health behaviors associated with cognitive function. Such behavior include physical activity, cognitive activity, healthy diet, social activity. We used LPA to examine associations of behaviors and cognitive function over time. Older adults with low lifestyle health behaviors showed more rapid decline. To a lesser degree, so did those with moderate lifestyle health behaviors. Vascular conditions and risks, APOEε4, or motor function did not modify the effect.
