Why More Education Lowers Dementia Risk

July 26, 2010

Adapted from the University of Cambridge

A team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Finland has discovered why people who stay in education longer have a lower risk of developing dementia—a question that has puzzled scientists for the past decade.

Examining the brains of 872 people who had been part of three large ageing studies, and who before their deaths had completed questionnaires about their education, the researchers found that more education makes people better able to cope with changes in the brain associated with dementia.

Over the past decade, studies on dementia have consistently showed that the more time you spend in education, the lower your risk of dementia. For each additional year of education there is an 11% decrease in risk of developing dementia, this study reports.

However, these studies have been unable to determine whether or not education—which is linked to higher socioeconomic status and healthier lifestyles—protects the brain against dementia.

This is not the case, the new study lead by Professor Carol Brayne of the University of Cambridge has found. Instead, the study shows people with different levels of education have similar brain pathology but that those with more education are better able to compensate for the effects of dementia.

According to co-author Dr Hannah Keage of the University of Cambridge: "Previous research has shown that there is not a one-to-one relationship between being diagnosed with dementia during life and changes seen in the brain at death. One person may show lots of pathology in their brain while another shows very little, yet both may have had dementia. Our study shows education in early life appears to enable some people to cope with a lot of changes in their brain before showing dementia symptoms."

Compared with previous research, this study was able to answer the question because of its large size and statistical power.

The studies have assessed participants for up to 20 years and are three of only six such studies in the world.

The results have important implications for public health at a time when populations in many countries are ageing.

"Education is known to be good for population health and equity. This study provides strong support for investment in early life factors which should have an impact on society and the whole lifespan. This is hugely relevant to policy decisions about the importance of resource allocation between health and education," says Professor Brayne.

The results of this study are published in the journal Brain.

 Centros de Servicios reciber Medicare cheque de $250 http://www.twp.brick.nj.us/content.asp?ContentId=2114

Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid Campaña nacional de educación y multimedia de Medicare

Nueva ley incluye ahorros en el periodo sin cobertura de Medicare para medicamentos recetados

Usted podría calificar para recibir un cheque de $250 que le ayude a pagar medicamentos recetados Si usted alcanzó el periodo sin cobertura de medicamentos recetados de Medicare este año podría calificar para obtener un cheque de reembolso, libre de impuestos, por la cantidad de $250 para ayudar con el costo de sus medicamentos de receta. Este importante y nuevo beneficio que está incluido en la Ley para el Cuidado de Salud de Bajo Precio, es el primer paso hacia la eliminación del periodo sin cobertura de medicamentos recetados. La mayoría de los planes de medicamentos de receta de Medicare tienen un periodo sin cobertura. Esto significa que después de que usted y su plan han pagado cierta cantidad de dinero por los medicamentos cubiertos, tiene usted que pagar cien por ciento de los gastos (hasta llegar a un límite). Si usted cumple con los requisitos y llega al periodo sin cobertura en el 2010, Medicare le enviará automáticamente a su nombre un cheque de reembolso de $250. • No es necesario llenar ningún formulario. • No necesita proporcionar ninguna información personal, como su número de Medicare, seguro social o cuenta bancaria, para obtener el cheque de reembolso. No dé su información personal si recibe alguna llamada por teléfono sobre el cheque de reembolso de $250. Llame al 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) para reportar a cualquier persona que esté haciendo ese tipo de llamadas. Los usuarios de TTY (personas con impedimentos auditivos) deben llamar al 1-877-486-2048. Los cheques se enviarán mensualmente durante todo el año a medida que las personas califiquen. Espere recibir su cheque de reembolso en aproximadamente 45 días después del mes que usted llegue a el periodo sin cobertura en 2010. Si no recibe su cheque de reembolso, espere otro mes y a continuación póngase en contacto con el centro de servicio al cliente de Medicare al número gratuito al 1-800-MEDICARE. El descuento puede retrasarse si Medicare no recibe la información de su plan de medicamentos a tiempo para poder incluirle en el correo de ese mes. Si recibe el Beneficio o Ayuda Adicional para pagar el costo de sus medicamentos de Medicare, usted no califica para recibir el cheque de reembolso puesto que ya están recibiendo ahorros. Si está inscrito en un plan autorizado de medicamentos de receta para jubilados, usted también no califica para recibir un cheque de reembolso. Recuerde que el cheque de $250 es un beneficio que recibirá solo una vez para ayudarle con el costo de sus medicamentos de receta si llega al periodo sin cobertura de medicamentos de receta que cubre Medicare en 2010. Si llega al periodo sin cobertura en el año 2011, usted

obtendrá un descuento del 50% en medicamentos de marca cubiertos y un descuento de 7% en medicamentos genéricos cubiertos al momento que los compre. Para obtener más información sobre el cheque de reembolso de $250, visite www.medicare.gov o llame al 1-800-MEDICARE.

Medicare Part D Donut Hole REBATE $250. http://www.twp.brick.nj.us/content.asp?ContentId=2113

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services National Medicare Multi-Media & Education Campaign

New Law Includes Savings in the Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage Gap You May be Eligible for a $250 Rebate to Help with Prescription Drug Costs

Did you reach the coverage gap, or "donut hole," in your Medicare prescription drug coverage this year? If so, you may qualify to get a one-time, tax-free $250 rebate check to help with your prescription drug costs. This important new benefit, included in the Affordable Care Act, is the first step toward closing the Medicare prescription drug coverage gap. Most Medicare drug plans have a coverage gap. This means that after you and your plan have spent a certain amount of money for covered drugs, you have to pay all costs out-of-pocket (up to a limit). If you qualify and you reach the coverage gap in 2010, Medicare will automatically send you a $250 rebate check that’s made out to you. • You don’t need to fill out any forms. • You don’t need to provide any personal information, like your Medicare, Social Security, or bank account numbers, to get the rebate check. Don’t give your personal information to anyone who calls you about the $250 rebate check. Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) to report anyone who does this. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048. Checks will be mailed monthly throughout the year. You can expect to get your rebate check about 45 days after the month you reach the coverage gap in 2010. If you don’t get your rebate check, wait another month and then contact the toll-free Medicare customer service center at 1-800-MEDICARE. Your rebate may be delayed if Medicare doesn’t have information from your drug plan in time to include you in the mailing. If you get "Extra Help" to pay your Medicare drug costs, you don’t qualify for the rebate check since you are already receiving savings. If you are enrolled in a qualified retiree prescription drug plan, you are also not eligible to receive a rebate check. Remember, the $250 rebate is a one-time benefit to help you with your prescription drug costs if you reach the coverage gap in your Medicare prescription drug coverage in 2010. If you reach the coverage gap in 2011, you will get a 50% discount on covered brand name drugs and a 7% discount on covered generic drugs at the time you buy them.

To learn more about the $250 coverage gap rebate, visit www.medicare.gov, or call 1-800-MEDICARE. More information is available at www.healthcare.gov, a new web portal made available by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
