What is Association of Mental Demands in the Workplace with Cognitive Function in Older Adults at Increased Risk for Dementia about?

## Objectives: Growing evidence suggests a protective effect of high mental demands at work on cognitive function in later life. however, evidence on corresponding associations in older adults at increased risk for dementia is currently lacking. this study investigates the association between mental demands at work and cognitive functioning in the population of the agewell.de-trial. ## Methods: Cross-sectional investigation of the association between global cognitive functioning (montreal cognitive assessment) and mental demands at work in older individuals at increased risk for dementia (cardiovascular risk factors, aging, and incidence of dementia (caide)score ≥ 9; n = 941, age: 60-77 years). occupational information was matched to occupational information network (o\*net)-descriptors. associations between cognitive function and o\*net-indices executive, verbal and novelty were investigated using generalized linear models. ## Results: Higher values of index verbal (b = .69, p = .002) were associated with better cognitive function when adjusting for covariates. no association was observed for indices executive (b = .37, p = .062) and novelty (b = .45, p = .119). higher education,
