“…However, this literature focuses only on children and young adults and does not improve our understanding about the medium 3 and "long-term" effects of chronic restrictions to sleep duration. In addition, our study speaks to the previous literature analyzing the determinants of cognitive skills and mental health (Banks and Dinges, 2011;Banks and Oldfield, 2007;Mazzonna and Peracchi, 2012), and in particular to those studies focusing on older workers and on ageing and cognitive skills in China (Lei et al, 2012;Huang and Zhou, 2013;Lei et al, 2014).…”

“…In particular, a 30 minutes increase in average sleep duration -the sleep variation generated by an hour increase in sunset time (see Table 4)-would increase numerical skills by 16%, the mental test by 9% and the TICS test by 12% with respect to the mean of each dependent variable. 18 To gauge a sense of the magnitude, Huang and Zhou (2013) estimate that concluding primary education increases cognition scores by 20%.…”

“…Apesar de a nossa amostra apresentar uma escolaridade baixa, da análise dos resultados obtidos podemos referir um efeito do nível de escolaridade na pontuação do MMSE, confirmando a tendência de estudos anteriores (Huang & Zhou, 2013;Meng & D'Arcy, 2012). É de notar o seu papel como um dos agentes responsáveis no desempenho da função cognitiva, sendo esperado que, quanto mais elevado, melhor a pontuação em tal teste neuropsicológico (Yao, Zeng, & Sun, 2009).…”

“…educação, ocupação e lazer) se encontram associadas com um menor declínio cognitivo (taxas mais lentas de declínio da memória), e a uma redução do risco de demência (Deary et al, 2009;Stern, 2009Stern, , 2012. Existem evidências robustas de que uma educação de alto nível no início de vida está relacionada com uma redução significativa na prevalência e incidência de demência (Meng & D'Arcy, 2012), sendo de salientar que a conclusão do 1º ciclo aumenta significativamente os valores de cognição (Huang & Zhou, 2013 Elst et al, 2013), vista esta, como o mais importante fator de risco (Robertson, Savva, & Kenny, 2013).…”
