Researchers have proposed a number of mechanisms to explain the relationship between education and risk for dementia including: brain reserve, cognitive reserve, “use it or lose it”, the brain-battering hypothesis, ascertainment/diagnostic bias, and education as a proxy for a third variable (s).
Higher childhood education levels and lifelong higher educational attainment reduce dementia risk. 2,35–37 New work suggests overall cognitive ability increases, with education, before reaching a plateau in late adolescence, when brain reaches greatest plasticity; with relatively few further gains with education after age 20 years. 38 This ...

The study found higher childhood education levels and higher lifelong educational attainment could reduce dementia risk.
Jun 4, 2020 · Several research studies have shown that higher educational attainment is associated with better late-life cognitive functioning and reduced risk for dementia.
Apr 7, 2016 · 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.
