independently associated with CIND. An interaction was found between education and job physical demand; persons with a high level of education but a high job physical demand showed an association with CIND, both if they were employed as manual or non-manual workers (OR 1⁄4 4.4;95%CI 1⁄4 1.03-18.9, and OR 1⁄4 4.3;95%CI 1⁄4 1.6-11.7, respectively). Conclusions: Different lifetime’s socioeconomic factors are associated with CIND in late life. Early-life education seems to play the most important role. However, being in a job that is highly physically demanding might modify the effect of education, independently of occupation.
