We investigated whether the relation of educational attainment and cognitive level of job to performance in verbal ability and processing speed in old age was mediated via the number of chronic diseases. A total of 2,812 older adults participated. Psychometric tests on verbal ability and processing speed were administered. Individuals were interviewed regarding their education, midlife occupation, and chronic diseases in old age. Higher educational attainment and higher cognitive level of job were correlated with better performance in verbal ability and processing speed (.15 ≤ r ≤ .33, ps < .001). 1.4 to 7.3% of these relations was mediated via the number of chronic diseases (β = .01, ps < .026). In conclusion, individuals with higher educational attainment and higher cognitive level of job may possibly suffer from fewer chronic diseases later in life. Possibly, this may finally be related to better performance in verbal ability and processing speed in those individuals in old age.
我们调查了教育程度和工作认知水平与老年人语言能力和处理速度表现之间的关系是否通过慢性病数量介导。共有2812名老年人参与。对语言能力和处理速度进行了心理测量测试。就他们的教育程度、中年职业和老年慢性病情况对个体进行了访谈。较高的教育程度和较高的工作认知水平与较好的语言能力和处理速度表现相关（0.15≤r≤0.33，p<0.001）。这些关系中有1.4%至7.3%是通过慢性病数量介导的（β=0.01，p<0.026）。总之，教育程度较高和工作认知水平较高的个体在晚年可能患慢性病较少。可能最终这与这些老年人在语言能力和处理速度方面的较好表现有关。
