Contribution of Bilingualism to Cognitive Reserve of an Italian Literature Professor at High Risk for Alzheimer's Disease.
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease : JAD 2018 November 18
Bilingualism is an independent component of cognitive reserve that permits to delay dementia onset up to 5 years. We describe a case of a bilingual Italian man affected by mild cognitive impairment with high cognitive reserve that, despite the presence of multiple risk factors (ApoE ɛ4/ɛ4 genotype, older age, untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, AD-like biomarker alterations) did not convert to Alzheimer's disease up to 5 years follow-up. The present case confirms the role of bilingualism as a strong protective factor for dementia, even in the occurrence of multiple risk factors.
