Carried out by researchers at Georgetown University Medical Centre, the new study looked at 704 Taiwanese adults aged 58 to 98 years of age and tested their declarative memory, which is the ability to remember events, facts and words, and other details such as where you put your keys or someone’s name.
The findings, published in the journal Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition, showed that perhaps unsurprisingly, the participants’ performance on the test became worse with age. This protective effect was also particularly strong among women, with the team finding that the memory gains associated with each year of education were five times larger than the losses experienced during each year of ageing among female participants, and two times larger among the male participants.
