cognitive function are complex and likely multidirectional; for instance, a number of recent population - based studies have shown genetic links with level of educational attainment, 22,23 and with the risk for
cognitive decline in later life.24 Higher levels of educational attainment are also associated with
health behaviors (eg, physical activity, diet, and smoking), more cognitively - complex occupations, and better access to
