\n<\/strong>
\nAnders has showed that higher occupational complexity (the mental and social demands coming from one\u2019s occupation) is associated with better cognitive function in older adults at risk of dementia, and that higher levels of occupational complexity might provide some resilience against the cognitive effects of Alzheimer’s Disease neuropathology. Anders has also explored if the level of complexity of an individual’s occupation is associated with the effect of the FINGER lifestyle intervention, showing that high complexity has relevance for the intervention effect on executive functions but not for other cognitive domains.
\nIn all, these results support the advancement of dementia research towards a precision prevention approach, and can contribute to the development of more individualized treatments.<\/p>\n
