Previous investigations indicated that the school level of a person could be a factor of risk for the development of the disease of Alzheimer that is the most frequent cause of dementia.

In their study, Qiu and its colleagues made a pursuit of 983 old patients of 75 years, and greater, during an average of 2.8 years. During that time, 147 patients were diagnosed like lunatic, including 109 with the disease of Alzheimer.

The participants in the study were classified in agreement with the years of schooling. They divided themselves in groups of less than eight years of studies or school of elementary degree, from 8 to 10 years or school of superior degree, or more than 11 years or university level.

The report, published in the magazine Archives of Neurology, indicated that the patients with less than eight years of schooling had more of the risk double of being diagnosed with the disease of Alzheimer and a probability of the 70 percent of receiving a dementia diagnosis.
