Educational attainment, structural brain reserve, and Alzheimer’s disease: a Mendelian randomization analysis

2022-03-21

Abstract excerpt

Higher educational attainment is observationally associated with lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease. However, the biological mechanisms underpinning this association remain unclear. The protective effect of education on Alzheimer’s disease may be mediated via increased brain reserve. We used two-sample Mendelian randomization to explore putative causal relationships between educational attainment, structural brain...
