However, this has not been well studied. Although some studies reported association between lower educational attainment and higher dementia, these alleged effects of education may not be specific for dementia but represent an alternative pathway from negative lifestyle to increased incidence of age-related cognitive impairments [14–16].
How can a relatively small number of years of formal education occurring early in life affect risk for dementia in old age? This review advances the literature by providing a broad systematic review of both dementia prevalence and incidence studies.
Yet, much remains unknown as to how early life factors, particularly early life cognitive function, and early life environments, such as family environments, help explain why education so robustly protects against later life dementia.
Jul 30, 2020 · Research presented at the 2020 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference suggests that higher quality early-life education is linked to better language and memory performance, and lower risk of dementia.
Acting now on dementia prevention, intervention, and care will vastly improve living and dying for individuals with dementia and their families, and in doing so, will transform the future for society.
