%X The study was performed to examine
and assess the impact of the education, occupation and leisure time on building
brain and cognitive reserves (CBR). </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">A cross sectional study of 132 persons at age between 40 to 70 years old
has been conducted. A structured questionnaire covering multiple constructs was
used to collect the data. Multivariate regression results show that the three
independent variables (LE, OC and ED) were statistically significant in the
models with CBR as dependent variable.</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Leisure time and
activities (LE) make the strongest unique contribution (0.683) followed by
occupation (0.261) and the weak contribution of the education (0.198) to
explain</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">the dependent variable cognitive and brain reserve (CBR). The Brain and Cognitive Reserve hypothesesassumes
that a rich intellectual measures and abilities a person have during her/his
life enable this person to cope with difficult cognitive tasks and social
