Ask your doctor to find and give you this cognitive reserve test. I'm sure I used up all my cognitive reserve just surviving my stroke. Hope I can build it up again to prevent my likely dementia. I see absolutely nothing out there that tells me EXACTLY how to build up cognitive reserve.
Effect of cognitive reserve on risk of cognitive impairment and recovery after stroke: The KOSCO Study
Stroke — Shin M, Sohn MK, Lee J, et al. | January 10, 2020
In this interim analysis of the Korean
Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation involving 7,459
individuals with first-ever stroke, researchers ascertained if the
cognitive reserve (CR) has a modulating impact on cognitive impairment
and recovery following stroke. Education, occupation, and composite CR
scores derived from those two variables have been used as CR proxies.
According to results, lower CR raised the risk of cognitive impairment
following stroke. Occupation and education can buffer a person against
stroke-induced cognitive impairment and encourage rapid cognitive
recovery early after stroke. Additionally, higher education, especially
in older patients, minimizes long-term cognitive decline after stroke.
