Numerous research have shown the cognitive advantages of mid- to late-life engagement. The relationship between participation in enriching early-life activities (EELAs) during adolescence and later-life cognition, however, has received relatively little attention in significant epidemiological studies.
Numerous research have shown the cognitive advantages of mid- to late-life engagement. The relationship between participation in enriching early-life activities (EELAs) during adolescence and later-life cognition, however, has received relatively little attention in significant epidemiological studies. A nationally representative sample of persons aged 50 and older was used to study the correlation between EELA and cognition.
A subset of participants in the Health and Retirement Study (n=3482) underwent cognitive testing and submitted a retrospective early-life activity assessment. The connection between enriching early-life activities and cognition was examined using linear regression models, and multiple imputation dealt with missing data. A higher cognitive score of 0.36 points was linked to each additional enriching early-life activities. This connection was still significant once potential confounders were taken into account. Better cognitive performance in later life was linked to EELA engagement.
