1. Education
In a study published in Neuroepidemiology analyzing the memory test results of more than 11 thousand elderly people in Europe, researchers found education can combat cognitive decline at one point.
They take a test given at the beginning of the study. Every two years for almost a decade they take the test again.
When the researchers compared the results of that test with a diagnosis of dementia, they found people with higher education seem to have lower rates of dementia.
But when researchers looked at what happened to those who have dementia, found education does not seem to affect the rate of decline in function kognitif.Dengan other words, dementia starts no matter how high a person's education.
