abstract = {Previous studies have identified bilingualism as a
protective factor against dementia. Here we aimed to test
whether being bilingual at different life stages impacts
cognition and brain structure in older adulthood. We
included 746 participants from the DZNE-Longitudinal
Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Study (DELCODE).
Assessment of bilingualism at 3 life stages (early: 13-30,
middle: 30-65 and late: over 65 years old) was determined
with the Lifetime of Experiences Questionnaire. Individuals
reporting bilingualism (i.e., daily use of L2) in the early
life stage outperformed monolinguals on learning $\&$
memory, working-memory, executive functions and language.
Bilingualism in middle life stage showed a significant
advantage on learning $\&$ memory, while no effect of
bilingualism in old life stage was identified. Brain gray
matter volume was not associated with L2 use and did not
differ between groups. However, stronger correlations
between brain gray matter volume in selected brain regions
and cognitive performance were found in bilingual
participants in the early and middle life stages. Our
results indicate that bilingualism in early life might
provide a long-lasting protective effect on cognition and
shape the brain to sustain cognitive performance in older
adulthood.},
