Modifiable risk factors of dementia in Successful Aging: an ELSI‐Brazil study
Low education, physical inactivity and visual loss were inversely associated with HPOA. Contrary to expected, the absence of modifiable risk factors of dementia was not proven to be associated with high cognitive abilities. Studying the influence of protective factors in successful aging is essential to underscore their importance in high cognitive performance.
