ENHANCING BRAIN RESILIENCE: THE SYNERGISTIC ROLE OF COGNITIVE RESERVE, PHYSICAL FITNESS, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN LIFELONG HEALTH AND LONGEVITY
<p><strong>Objective:</strong> Cognitive Reserve (CR) is a critical concept in understanding cognitive aging, resilience against neurodegenerative diseases, and overall brain adaptability. <strong>Method: </strong>This paper explores the interplay between CR, physical fitness, and psychological well-being, highlighting their combined impact on cognitive health and longevity across diverse populations. <strong>Results:</strong> The research underscores how regular physical activity, cognitive engagement, and emotional well-being contribute to strengthening CR, thereby delaying cognitive decline. Furthermore, it discusses the biopsychosocial framework that integrates these factors and examines their implications for public health interventions. Given the disparities in CR development influenced by socioeconomic and cultural factors, the paper emphasizes the necessity of personalized, holistic strategies to enhance cognitive resilience. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: The findings suggest that fostering CR through an interdisciplinary approach can serve as a preventive measure against cognitive impairment, advocating for a more integrative and proactive stance in healthcare.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0774/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
