To investigate verbal learning, working memory, executive functioning abilities and quality of life issues in Greek-Cypriots over the age of 60. This study is part of the first systematic research program exploring neuropsychological-neurocognitive performance and quality of life issues in the elderly Greek-Cypriot population in Cyprus. An inception cohort longitudinal study of community dwellers ages 65 and older. Community setting, including adult activity centers. Participants were 350 Greek-Cypriot men and women, between 55 to 85 years (x = 69.4, sd = 6.5) with average education 9.5 years (sd = 3.9) and average MMSE 27.2 (sd = 1.8). All participants were screened for global cognitive and memory decline prior to participating in the project. A battery of standardized clinical neuropsychological tests to assess neurocognitive abilities and the WHO Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire were administered. Not applicable. Statistical analyses revealed significant relationships (p<.01) between years of education, quality of life, and cognitive abilities. Specifically, years of education correlated significantly with physical health. In addition, physical health was significantly correlated with psychological health and speed of processing abilities. Both physical and psychological health, were correlated with strong naming abilities, while psychological health was also positively correlated with social relationships and environmental support. Inferential analyses (multivariate ANOVA, α=.05) also yielded significant group differences using education as an independent variable and quality of life and neurocognitive performance as dependent variables. Results indicate that certain aspects of quality of life relate to cognitive performance. In addition, higher education relates to perceptions of physical health in adults over 60. However, the relationship between years of education and cognitive performance does not follow a linear trend. Implications of the findings for adult cognitive stimulation-rehabilitation programs will be discussed.
