Brain Reserve, Resilience, and Cognitive Stimulation Across the Lifespan: How Do These Factors Influence Risk of Cognitive Impairment and the Dementias?

Farzaneh A Sorond et al. Clin Geriatr Med. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

In the absence of effective treatments for dementia, maintaining cognitive health in old age is one of the major challenges facing aging societies. Interventions for cognitive health that are tailored to the person are more likely to bring the best benefits with a minimum burden. We review the existing literature on this topic and discuss the role of the primary care physician.

Keywords: Brain health; Brain reserve; Cognitive reserve; Cognitive resilience.
