Objectives : The current study sought to evaluate the relationship between cognitive performance and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) performance in a population of community dwelling older adults, and assess to what extent this relationship is moderated by cognitive reserve (Premorbid-IQ) Methods : 123 community-dwelling older adults completed a general cognitive assessment, a word-reading based premorbid-IQ estimate (PMIQE) measure, and the performance-based Direct Assessment of Functional Status, Revised (DAFS-R). Moderated regression analysis was used to assess the influence of PMIQE on the relationship between cognitive performance and IADLs. Results : There was a significant main effect of cognitive performance on IADLs, and no main effect of PMIQE on functional IADLs. There was a significant moderating effect of PMIQE on the relationship between cognitive performance and IADLs performance, such that at higher levels of PMIQE, cognitive performance scores became slightly less predictive of weaknesses in IADLs. Conclusions : Results suggest that for individuals with high reserve, assessment of cognitive performance alone may not be robust a predictor of IADLs functioning. Clinical implications : In estimating functional abilities as a consequence of cognitive performance, consideration should be given to premorbid-IQ/cognitive reserve. |
