Cognitive Health

This section focuses on cognitive health which first links to a description of existing measures of cognitive function and then to epidemiologic studies using these measures. The description of each study also includes a citation of publications addressing some of the predictors of cognitive change that have been identified (e.g., education, physical activity, mood, and a variety of medical conditions).
