Our study, along with prior studies, supports the notion that «cognitive reserve» resulting from early - life and lifelong education and cognitive stimulation may be a potent strategy for the primary prevention of dementia in both high - and low - income countries around the world.21 However, it should be noted that the relationships among education, brain biology, and 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 health care, all of which may play a role in decreasing lifetime dementia risk.

The operationalization of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) led to targeting earlier symptomatic cases of the illness and treatment strategies based less on pathology and more on a chance to halt or slow decline than there would be earlier in the disease.1 With the development of amyloid imaging, MCI due to AD diagnosis was refined, 2 and early - stage AD was extended further to include preclinical AD, 3 wherein a positive amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan or diagnostic low levels of cerebrospinal fluid β - amyloid (Aβ) indicated the presence of pathology in people who were cognitively normal.
