Article Synopsis
- Several lifestyle factors, particularly occupational cognitive requirements (OCR), may protect against Alzheimer's disease (AD) by potentially enhancing brain maintenance, brain reserve, or cognitive reserve throughout a person's life.
- The study analyzed data from two population-based cohorts to understand how OCR interacts with genetic and biomarker factors related to cognitive decline and dementia onset.
- Results indicated that higher OCR scores correlate with reduced cognitive decline risk, delayed onset of Alzheimer's, and relationships with brain structure and memory function, although OCR did not significantly affect Alzheimer's disease biomarkers over time.
