“…A major goal in current gerontological research is to understand how interindividual differences in cognitive functioning in old age emerge [1, 2]. To address this issue, the present study set out to investigate interindividual differences in cognitive performance that are related to psychological stress and whether this pattern differs with respect to individuals’ cognitive reserve and social capital.…”

Aims: The present study set out to investigate the relation of psychological stress to cognitive performance and its interplay with key life course markers of cognitive reserve and social capital in a large sample of older adults. Methods: We assessed cognitive performance (verbal abilities and processing speed) and psychological stress in 2,812 older adults. The Participants reported information on education, occupation, leisure activities, family, and close friends. Results: Greater psychological stress was significantly related to lower performance in verbal abilities and processing speed. Moderation analyses suggested that the relations of psychological stress to cognitive performance were reduced in individuals with higher education, a higher cognitive level of the first profession practiced after education, a larger number of midlife leisure activities, a larger number of significant family members, and a larger number of close friends. Conclusion: Cognitive reserve and social capital accrued in early and midlife may reduce the detrimental influences of psychological stress on cognitive functioning in old age.

“…All procedures related to the application of the COGTEL could be consulted in detail in a previous publication from the author of this instrument⁴. The COGTEL psychometric properties were previously determined in a sample of Brazilian older adults 18 . Test-retest reliability (0.85; p <0.001) and the convergent validity of the MMSE (0.93; p < 0.001) were high.…”

The objectives of this study were: (1) to investigate the age-related differences in cognitive function (CF), nutritional status (MNA), physical activity (AF), quality of life (QoL), depression, social satisfaction (SS) and socioeconomic status (SES), and (2) to explore the relationships between CF and the previous variables. This cross sectional study included 268 men and 433 women (aged 71.4 ± 7.0 years). CF was determined with the Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (COGTEL) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Correlates were as follows: Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), PA (Baecke questionnaire modified for older adults), Quality of life (QoL SF-12), Geriatrics Depression Scale (GDS), Satisfaction and Social Support Scale, and Socioeconomic status (SES). All instruments were applied in a face to face interview. An independent t-test identified significantly higher scores in young-old adults (≤ 69 years) for CF (p < 0.001), PA (p = 0.046) and SES (p = 0.007), compared to old-old adults (≥ 70 years). The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the most significant CF correlates were SES (β = 0.45; p < 0.001), age (β = -0.12; p < 0.001), SS (β = 0.12; p = 0.001), GDS (β = -0.11; p = 0.003) and QoL (β = 0.08; p = 0.017). The overall regression model explained 36% of the total variance in the COGTEL. The oldest and the more depressed adults obtained lower scores for FC. The present study suggests that, between the correlates studied, SES was the strongest predictor in the explanation of CF in older adults.

Este estudo, de natureza transversal, incluiu 268 homens e 433 mulheres (71,4 ± 7,0 anos de idade). A FC foi determinada a partir do Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (COGTEL) e do Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Os preditores analisados incluíram: o Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), a AF (questionário de Baecke modificado para idosos), a QV (SF-12), a Escala de Depressão em Geriatria (GDS), a Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social e o ESSE (Estatuto Socioeconômico). Todos os instrumentos foram aplicados sob forma de entrevista. Um t-teste de medidas independentes identificou scores significativamente mais elevados nos adultos-idosos mais jovens , comparativamente aos mais idosos (70 -91 anos de idade). Os resultados da análise de regressão linear múltipla indicaram que os preditores mais significativos da FC foram: ESSE

“…To compute a global score, we followed a weighting procedure validated by Kliegel and coworkers (2007) to allocate a similar contribution to each subtest previously mentioned (see also Breitling et al, 2010;Ihle, Gouveia, Gouveia, & Kliegel, 2017). From this formula, we doubled the weight of the verbal short-term memory in order to take account of this score possible range from 0 to 4 instead of 0 to 8 in the original version.…”

Objectives Interindividual differences in cognitive aging may be explained by differences in cognitive reserve (CR) that are built up across the life span. A plausible but underresearched mechanism for these differences is that CR helps compensating cognitive decline by enhancing motivation to cope with challenging cognitive situations. Theories of motivation on cognition suggest that perceived capacity and intrinsic motivation may be key mediators in this respect. Method In 506 older adults, we assessed CR proxies (education, occupation, leisure activities), motivation (perceived capacity, intrinsic motivation), and a global measure of cognitive functioning. Results Perceived capacity, but not intrinsic motivation, significantly mediated the relation between CR and cognitive performance. Discussion Complementary with neurobiological and cognitive processes, our results suggest a more comprehensive view of the role of motivational aspects built up across the life span in determining differences in cognitive performance in old age.
