Participants were linked to a composite measure of neighborhood disadvantage, the predictor, at the census tract level drawn from the National Neighborhood Data Archive. The Mini-Mental State Examination, measuring global cognition, was the outcome. Social network size, a moderator, includes the total number of children, relatives, and friends spoken to in the last month. Relationship quality, a moderator, was defined by how frequently the individual can count on and discuss deep problems with friends\/family. Multiple linear regressions with interaction terms were conducted to assess for moderation, which were repeated across the gender-stratified samples.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Relationship quality, but not social network size, moderated the association between neighborhood disadvantage and cognition.
