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.

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.
