Previous work has found that later life urban-rural differences in cognitive health can be largely explained by indicators of cognitive reserve such as education or occupation. However, previous research concentrated on residence in limited, specific, periods. This study offers a detailed investigation on the association between urban (vs. rural) residence from birth, and cognitive functioning in older age. Usi...

Introduction: We investigated the mediating role of leisure activity engagement as marker of cognitive reserve in the relation between neighborhood socio-economic position (SEP) and cognitive decline over 6 years. Methods: The study analyzed longitudinal data from 897 older adults who participated in the two waves (2011 and 2017) of the Vivre-Leben-Vivere (VLV) survey in Switzerland (M = 74.33 years in the firs...

Objectives: Previous studies have shown the importance of individual markers of cognitive reserve, such as education and occupation, for cognitive health in old age. However, there has been only little investigation so far on how this relationship varies across contexts. Methods: We analyzed data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe, using second-order latent growth models, to assess the ...


Cognitive Functioning Mediates the Association of Cognitive Reserve with Health...

Ihle, Andreas; Gouveia, Élvio R.; Gouveia, Bruna R.; Marques, Adilson; Marconcin, Priscila; Nascimento, Marcelo de Maio; Jurema, Jefferson

We investigated whether the relations of the cognitive reserve markers education and cogni tive level of work to the physical and the mental component of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were mediated via cognitive functioning in a large sample of 701 older adults (mean age = 70.36 years, SD = 6.87). HRQoL was measured with the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey. To measure cog nitive functioning, we used t...

We investigated the mediating role of leisure activity engagement as marker of cognitive reserve in the relation between neighborhood socio-economic position (SEP) and cognitive decline over 6 years. Methods: The study analyzed longitudinal data from 897 older adults who par ticipated in the two waves (2011 and 2017) of the Vivre-Leb en-Vivere (VLV) survey in Switzerland (M = 74.33 years in the first wave). Tra...


The Relation of Having Experienced a Fall in the Past to Lower Cognitive Functi...

Ihle, Andreas; Gouveia, Élvio R.; Gouveia, Bruna R.; Marques, Adilson; Marconcin, Priscila; Nascimento, Marcelo de Maio; Haas, Maximilian

Simple Summary: Experiencing a fall in old age represents a critical life event affecting physical and cognitive health and the ability to engage in physical activities and exercise. This is crucial since physical activity engagement contributes to the accumulation of the so-called cognitive reserve relevant for maintaining cognitive health at old age. The goal of our study was to investigate whether the relati...


Estimation of engagement in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity from direct ...

This study aimed to test an observational momentary time sampling tool to estimate in-class moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), in terms of validity, reliability and agreement between observational momentary time sampling and accelerometry, and to develop a regression equation to estimate MVPA from observational momentary time sampling. The sample comprised 78 pupils (38 girls), mean age 14.0 ± 1.1 y...


Predictors of metabolic syndrome in adults and older adults from Amazonas, Brazil

Gouveia, Elvio; Gouveia, Bruna; Marques, Adilson; Peralta, Miguel; França, Cíntia; Lima, Alex; Campos, Alderlane; Jurema, Jefferson; Kliegel, Matthias

Metabolic syndrome has been considered a factor of vulnerability and a major public health problem because it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The present study from Amazonas, Brazil aimed to estimate the prevalence of the individual and general components of metabolic syndrome in adults and older adults and identify the independent predictors of metabolic syndrome. The sample o...

A literacia científica em Educação Física tem proporcionado um aumento signi ficativo do conhecimento sobre as estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem mais apro priadas ao desenvolvimento de competências do aluno, em particular no contexto dos jogos desportivos coletivos. Um exemplo da importância da Educação na pro moção da literacia científica no contexto dos jogos desportivos coletivos é o projeto de investigação...
