Synopsis
Promoting cognitive function and protecting against cognitive impairment and dementia is a population health priority. Some evidence suggests that participation in complex and mentally stimulating activities at work may promote cognitive gains among workers. Whether or not cognitive gains can be maintained over a long period, and possibly well in to retirement, is not well established. In this presentation, research examining the long term protective associations proposed between previous complex occupational tasks and cognitive functioning in later life is reported.
