Association of reserve contributors with cognition. (A) The effects of education, (B) stimulating activities, and (C) occupational attainment on each of the three cognitive domains are shown. Higher education was significantly associated with better episodic and relational memory. Higher engagement in stimulating activities was significantly associated with better episodic and relational memory. The effect of each reserve contributor was estimated after controlling confounding variables, as well as the other two contributors. On the x axis, higher scores represent greater education/stimulating activities/occupational attainment, and on the y axis, higher scores represent better cognition
