Cognitive performance of healthy older adults and individuals with Alzheimer's Disease from a Latin American Country: the role of education on cognitive assessment batteries
Our findings highlight the influence of education on cognitive performance and its association with cognitive reserve in older adults. Lower education levels were linked to poorer cognitive outcomes and a higher prevalence of AD, emphasizing the need for lifelong educational opportunities to mitigate cognitive decline, especially in the Latin American context. Future studies should further explore targeted interventions for individuals with limited education.
