A unified measure for cognitive reserve that transcends rural and urban populations: Insights from two aging cohorts in southern India
This is the first study that estimated CR in the Indian context across two diverse, community-dwelling, aging populations - rural and urban - accounting for multilingualism. As YOE is the most important factor contributing to CR in both cohorts, enhancing levels of early educational attainment through public policies could help lower dementia risk in India.
