Impact of Sociodemographic Features and Lifestyle on Cognitive Performance of Peruvian Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive impairment and dementia may result from a combination of modifiable and nonmodifiable risk and protective factors, such as the environment, educational attainment, time devoted to cognitively stimulating activities, and physical activity.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle factors in the years of education and cognitive performance in Peruvian adults.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 1,478 subjects assessed by Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R). Using mediation models, we evaluated the mediation role of parents' educational level, reading time (RT), and physical activity time (PAT) in the years of education (IYE) and cognitive performance.
