A measure of modifiable lifestyle factors shaping subjective cognitive reserve in the general population by Carmen Moret-Tatay, Carmen Moret-Tatay, José María Tormos Muñoz, José María Tormos Muñoz, Alvaro Pascual-Leone, Alvaro Pascual-Leone

“…Convergent validity was confirmed through a positive correlation between SCR scores and resilience (BRCS) as well as with other cognitive reserve measures, indicating consistency in evaluating cognitive reserve across various instruments. Furthermore, discriminant validity was demonstrated by a significant negative correlation between SCR scores and subjective cognitive decline, suggesting that individuals with higher cognitive reserve experience lower levels of perceived cognitive decline. …”
