Associations of Perceived Stress and Psychological Resilience With Cognition and a Modifiable Dementia Risk Score in Middle-Aged Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Psychological stress has been proposed as a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. However, it remains unclear how an individual's stress-coping ability (i.e., psychological resilience) is related to cognition. This cross-sectional study investigated whether perceived stress and psychological resilience were associated with cognition and a modifiable dementia risk score in a large community-based sample of cognitively normal adults. The moderating effect of psychological resilience was also examined.

Methods

Participants (mean age = 57 ± 7 years) enrolled in the web-based Healthy Brain Project completed the Perceived Stress Scale and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Domains of attention and working memory were assessed using the Cogstate Brief Bat
