Cognitive reserve is associated with education, social determinants, and cognitive outcomes among older American Indians in the Strong Heart Study by Astrid M. Suchy-Dicey, W. T. Longstreth, Dedra S. Buchwald, Kristoffer Rhoads, Thomas J. Grabowski

“…Better cognitive reserve was significantly associated with more education, higher income, lower prevalence of depression, lower prevalence of diabetes, and lower prevalence of kidney disease, but we found no statistically significant evidence for an association with plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, APOE e4 carrier status, alcohol use, body mass, or hypertension. Better cognitive reserve was associated with better cognitive function over mean 6.7 years follow-up (range 4-9 years); and the association for education with cognition over time was mediated in part (15-24%) by cognitive reserve. …”
