- More education did not protect individuals from developing neurodegenerative and vascular neuropathology by the time they died but it did appear to mitigate the impact of pathology on the clinical expression of dementia before death.

Jul 23, 2010 · Examining the brains of 872 people who had been part of three large ageing studies, and who before their deaths had completed questionnaires about their education, the researchers found that more education makes people better able to cope with changes in the brain associated with dementia.

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.
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.
Jul 27, 2010 · Education has been liked to decreased risk for dementia for decades, but researchers behind a new study opened up the brains of hundreds of people who had died with the disease to try to...
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.
It is never too early and never too late in the life course for dementia prevention. Early-life (younger than 45 years) risks, such as less education, affect cognitive reserve; midlife (45–65 years), and later-life (older than 65 years) risk factors influence reserve and triggering of neuropathological developments.
Jul 26, 2021 · The contribution of educational inequities in early life to disparities in the incidence of dementia in later life is perhaps the best studied of the socioeconomic factors (Walsemann and Ailshire, 2020). The causal evidence linking education and dementia risk includes both observational and quasi-experimental findings in many settings.
