Summary:Highlights • Social relationships and risk of dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal cohort studies. • We conducted a systematic literature review in MEDLINE, Embase and PsycINFO. • We included 19 longitudinal cohort studies in the systematic review & meta-analysis. • We examined the association between social relationships and incident dementia. • A lack of social interaction is associated with incident dementia. • The results are comparable with other well-established risk factors for dementia.
