cognitive reserve, cognition, aging, agedAbstract
The objective of this study was to verify different profiles of cognitive gain in the elderly for cognitive reserve. This is a scoping review, using PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Science Direct, Lilacs, SciELO, PsycInfo, PsycNet and AgeLine as a database; the search was restricted between 2008 and 2018. 2295 studies were identified and 51 were eligible for the review. Among 51 studies selected, 9 different profiles were found for cognitive maintenance, and 5 studies did not specify the profile. Conclusion: The profiles found were relevant to cognitive reserve theory and provide insights into how individual factors and daily life can make the brain more resilient in aging and old age. However, those individual factors and how they contribute to development of cognitive reserve and maintenance of cognition still remain obscure in the literature.
