To investigate the association between religious participation and memory in persons aged 45-85 years. Using the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, frequency of religious participation was measured from "daily" to "never"; immediate and delayed recall memory were assessed with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test. We regressed memory onto religious participation for persons aged < 65 years and persons aged ≥ 65 years. We found some evidence of effect modification: among persons < 65 years, monthly to yearly participation versus never attending was positively associated with immediate and delayed recall memory; among persons aged ≥ 65 years, weekly or more participation versus never attending was negatively associated with immediate and delayed recall memory. However, regression coefficients were small (-0.09 ≤ ≤ 0.06) and most were not statistically significant (p < 0.05). Insufficient evidence existed to conclude that religious participation was associated with memory in our sample.
为了研究宗教参与与 45-85 岁人群记忆力之间的关系。我们利用加拿大老龄化纵向研究，从“每天”到“从不”测量宗教参与的频率；使用 Rey 听觉言语学习测验评估即时和延迟回忆记忆。我们对<65 岁和≥65 岁的人进行了记忆与宗教参与的回归分析。我们发现了一些效应修饰的证据：在<65 岁的人群中，每月至每年一次的参与与从不参加相比，与即时和延迟回忆记忆呈正相关；在≥65 岁的人群中，每周或更多的参与与从不参加相比，与即时和延迟回忆记忆呈负相关。然而，回归系数较小（-0.09≤ ≤0.06），且大多数不具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。我们的样本中没有足够的证据表明宗教参与与记忆有关。
