Central and Bridging Roles of Social Relationships Within the Multilayer Health Ecology Model in Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome: A Network Analysis

Motoric cognitive risk (MCR) syndrome signals dementia risk in older adults, with social relationships recognized as modifiable influences; however, their interconnectedness with the multilayer factors of the health ecology model remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the central and bridging functions of social activities, social networks, and social support within the health ecology model in the context of MCR.
