People who have a higher education are less likely to experience cognitive decline associated with chronic exposure to solvents than their less educated counterparts.

A study published in the journal Neurology surprisingly showed that occupational exposure to chemical solvents was only tied to the cognitive decline in less-educated workers and not their more-educated colleagues.

Researchers from Harvard University in Boston reviewed the data of 4,134 French national gas and electricity employees.

The studied men who were mostly retired had chronic and high exposure to chlorinated solvents, petroleum solvents, benzene, and non-benzene aromatic solvents.

The researchers assessed the participants’ lifetime exposure to the solvents and examined their cognitive skills when they were an average of 59 years old.

Prior findings have showed an association between longtime exposure to those chemicals and different health problems such as mental decline.

However, the new study revealed that while 32 percent of the workers without high school diploma developed thinking skills problems, only 16 percent of their more educated peers had similar problems.

"People with more education may have a greater cognitive reserve that acts like a buffer, allowing the brain to maintain its ability to function in spite of damage," said co-author Lisa Berkman. “This may be because education helps build up a dense network of connections among brain cells.”

“These findings suggest that efforts to improve quality and quantity of education early in life could help protect people's cognitive abilities later in life.

So a college/university education may be of benefit to workshop/factory grunts.
