Semantic memory, but not education or intelligence, moderates cognitive aging: a cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSION: In developing countries, the use of resilience factors based only on years of education may be misleading. Sociocultural issues influence the educational system and achievement and, consequently, affect the use of this simple measure. Resilience-factor studies should consider using crystallized abilities when studying populations with sociocultural particularities. PMID: 30994856 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
