Galit Weinstein, Ella Schwartz, Noam Damri, Howard Litwin
Engagement in cognitively stimulating activities across the life course has been linked with better cognitive function in old age. Evidence on the contribution of early life cognitive stimulation to late-life cognition is scarce. We aimed to examine the association between the number of books available in parental household and current cognitive performance among participants aged ≥65 years.
