Can education rescue genetic liability for cognitive decline?

Social science & medicine (1982) - 1 Feb 2015

Cook C Justin, Fletcher Jason M

Abstract excerpt

Although there is a vast literature linking education and later health outcomes, the mechanisms underlying these associations are relatively unknown. In the spirit of some medical literature that leverages developmental abnormalities to understand mechanisms of normative functioning, we explore the ability of higher educational attainments to "rescue" biological/genetic liabilities in brain function through...
