Fig. 3From: Reading activities compensate for low education-related cognitive deficitsCognitive performance associated with reading activities at different education levels. Shown is that by reading more books, participants with low education (blue line) could achieve similar or even better cognitive scores than those with high education (red line) in a MMSE, b MoCA, c DST, and d BNT. a MMSE (education ≤12: beta, 95% CI 0.1035 [0.0009, 0.0198], P=0.0316; education ≥13: beta, 95% CI 0.0012 [−0.0035, 0.0059], P=0.6113); b MoCA (education ≤12: beta, 95% CI 0.0136 [0.0031, 0.0241], P=0.0112; education ≥13: beta, 95% CI 0.0040 [−0.0020, 0.0100], P=0. 1856); c DST (education ≤12: beta, 95% CI 0.0086 [0.0035, 0.0136], P=0.0009; education ≥13: beta, 95% CI 0.0008 [−0.0037, 0.0053], P=0.7199); d BNT (education ≤12: beta, 95% CI 0.0166 [0.0076, 0.0256], P=0.0003; education ≥13: beta, 95% CI 0.0012 [0.0012, 0.0100], P=0.0371)Back to article page
