Abstract(s)
A Reserva Cognitiva (RC) defende que quando o cérebro está exposto a ambientes
enriquecedores este pode desenvolver uma tolerância maior à neuropatologia mantendose
funcional e eficiente, não demonstrando qualquer tipo de défice funcional. O Défice
Cognitivo Ligeiro é definido como um estado de transição entre o envelhecimento normal
e a demência. O objetivo deste estudo foi testar a teoria da RC em pacientes
diagnosticados DCL amnéstico, em particular, verificar se o desempenho cognitivo destes
pacientes com RC mais elevada seria superior ao desempenho cognitivo de pacientes com
RC inferior. Foram submetidos a uma avaliação neuropsicologia, incluindo a avaliação
da RC, 31 participantes com DCL amnéstico. De acordo com os valores obtidos na
avaliação da RC, os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos, um grupo com RC alta
e um grupo com RC baixa. Os resultados demonstraram uma ausência de diferenças
significativas no desempenho cognitivo entre os grupos de RC alta e RC baixa. Também
se verificou uma ausência de associação entre os índices de RC e o desempenho cognitivo.
The Cognitive Reserve theory (CR) argues that when the brain is exposed to rich environments it can develop a greater tolerance to neuropathology while remaining functional and efficient, without showing any type of functional deficit. Mild Cognitive Deficit is defined as a state of transition between normal aging and dementia. The aim of this study was to test the theory of CR in patients diagnosed with amnestic DCL, in particular, to verify whether the cognitive performance of these patients with higher CR would be superior to the cognitive performance of patients with lower CR. A total of 31 participants with amnestic DCL went thru a neuropsychological assessment, including the CR assessment. According to the values obtained in the CR evaluation, the participants were divided into two groups, a group with high CR and a group with low CR. The results demonstrated an absence of significant differences in cognitive performance between the groups of high CR and low CR. There was also an absence of an association between CR indexes and cognitive performance
