According to researchers at the Albert Einstein Medical University in New York, Alzheimer's memory loss rate seems to have advanced symptoms as soon as the person receiving education begins to suffer disease and memory loss begins. However, it seems that people with higher education will be late for the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

According to Professor Charles Hall of Albert Einstein Medical College, "When the patient is highly educated, IQ is high, symptoms of memory loss may deteriorate very quickly". Also, those who received education for 16 years seems to have 50% lost memory as compared with those who receive education only for 4 years.

Also, people with high education level have many "accumulation of cognition", and they seem to have the ability to operate properly even if the brain is damaged. Furthermore, they seem to be damaged by the brain during the period when the onset of Alzheimer's is delayed compared to those who do not receive much education, but "accumulation of cognition" seems to delay and delay the influence.
