   How does education affect dementia?

   • More years of education were associated with a decline in dementia during the time period studied. During that same time period, the average number of years of education increased from approximately 12 to 13. The decrease in dementia occurred in both men and women, despite elevated rates of high blood pressure and diabetes.

   Study design

   Data were derived from the Leipzig Longitudinal Study of the Aged (LEILA75+), a population-based study on dementia and cognitive impairment. The study design has been described in detail by Riedel-Heller et al. . Systematic random sampling by age-ordered list from the local registry office identified 1,500 community-dwelling individuals aged 75 and older in the city area of Leipzig, Germany. Additionally, 192 individuals were recruited from nursing homes in the sampling area. At baseline (...

   Standard protocol approval and patient consents

   All study participants provided written informed consent prior to study participation. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the University of Leipzig.

   Data collection and assessments

   At baseline and subsequent follow-up waves, trained psychologists and physicians visited the participants in their home environment. A standardised interview provided information on the participants' socio-demographical status, medical conditions and other characteristics. The main assessment instrument of cognitive functioning was the Structured Interview for diagnosis of Dementia of the Alzheimer type, Multi-infarct dementia and dementias of other aetiology according to ICD-10 and DSM-III-R...

   In this study, we investigated how the operationalisation of education may affect the size and the significance level of the effect of education on dementia incidence. Our findings suggest that education expressed in the number of years has a significant protective effect against dementia incidence. Specifically, the findings point out that complet...

   Our longitudinal observations emphasise, on one hand, protective effects of more years of education against dementia and, on the other hand, the importance of considering definitions and operationalisation in dementia research. Only by being aware of the applied definitions and operationalisation, it will be possible to gain a better understanding ...
