This paper presents the comparison of the characteristics of subjects with high and low cognitive reserve and subjects with low cognitive reserve and cognitive impairment, differentiated from the development of a weighted measure of cognitive reserve. Using a correlational design was evaluated 200 people aged over 65, not institutionalized. The results showed, firstly that high cognitive reserve group performed better on both the level of cognitive impairment as the weighted average of reserves that the group of low cognitive reserve and on the other hand the low cognitive reserve group showed a similar profile to the group of cognitive impairment, existing differences only in age. The observed differences would support the measure as a variable to be considered in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, and its usefulness to determine possible treatments. |
