People with more (or later) education will often have better outcomes for things like Alzheimer’s Disease. It’s not unreasonable to think that education may have a protective role.
- hericium 4y agoI agree. Research papers and books (can currently think of one[1]) mention that there is more nicotine users among less-educated. It's not far-fetched to assume that this substance is not atypical and educated people make in general more health-conscious choices. [1] https://moleculeofmore.com/ https://moleculeofmore.com/

- PraetorianGourd 4y agoI would argue that education enables a lifestyle that is protective, rather than education itself.
- Retric 4y agoEducation is also self selected, so it likely representative of other choices as well.
- PraetorianGourd 4y agoIt just isn’t though. Opportunity is not doled out equally. Yes, everyone has the chance to be educated. But some schools are better, some families more supportive etc. And certainly there are exceptions that defy their environment but they are exceptions.
- Retric 4y agoThat doesn’t distract from the fact that many that have the opportunity chose not seek or continue higher education. This is especially true post collage.
- matthewdgreen 4y agoOne theory is that educated people compensate better for decline on cognitive tests, basically by “muscling through it”. I’ve heard it doesn’t change the overall course of the disease much but it does make the decline less noticeable in the early stages.
