Cognitive reserve and its impact on cognitive and functional abilities, physical activity and quality of life following a diagnosis of dementia: longitudinal findings from the Improving the experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life (IDEAL) stu
Cognitive reserve may be important in initially delaying dementia progression but is linked with accelerated deterioration once dementia becomes clinically evident, likely because of the more advanced neuropathological stage of the condition. Engagement in leisure activities is a potentially modifiable domain of cognitive reserve warranting further investigation.
