   Does early-life education increase dementia risk?

   • “While the study didn’t explore the reasons for this link, research suggests that education could increase our cognitive reserve, a type of resilience that allows people to function for longer before showing dementia symptoms. “Researchers have previously found a link between the length of time spent in early-life education and dementia risk.

   Is it too early for dementia prevention?

   • 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.

   The CR theory deems that the mental trainings in people’s early lives, mainly in the form of education, offer an additional capacity in cognition to compensate for the decline in the late life [2, 3]. In other words, people with more mental stimulating experience are able to maintain better cognitive function when brain pathology is taking place.

   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.
