Lowering dementia risk and slowing progression of disease: the role of cognitive reserve and cognitive training.

Lowering dementia risk and slowing progression of disease: the role of cognitive reserve and cognitive training. Br J Psychiatry. 2020 Jul 01;:1-2 Authors: Scherrer JF, Morley JE Abstract Almeida-Meza et al found an inverse correlation between cognitive reserve (associated with educational level, complexity of occupations and leisure activities) and dementia incidence. We suggest clarifying studies using their data-set and consider what can be done to modify socioeconomic inequalities that affect cognitive reserve or to slow early dementia.
