Background:
Cognitive reserve (CR) is defined as the ability of individuals to use their brain in a flexible way to cope with brain pathologies and find alternative cognitive strategies.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to adapt Cognitive Reserve Index Questionnaire (CRIq) for Turkish population.
Methods:
The CRIq was administered to 178 healthy participants from 18 to 80 years old.
Results:
The mean score of total CRI was found to be 97.7 indicating a medium level of CR. In line with the mean score, 68.6% of participants (n = 120) were found to have a medium level of CRI. The elderly group showed lowest total CRI as well as CRI-education, CRI-work, and CRI-leisure scores compared to young and middle-aged groups (p < .05, for all scores).
Conclusions:
This study provided the first translated measure to assess CR in Turkish population.
