The Japanese Translation Study of the Cognitive Reserve Index Questionnaire.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe cognitive reserve index questionnaire (CRIq) is widely used to quantify cognitive reserve (CR), but a validated Japanese version is lacking. This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the CRIq and its short version (s-CRIq) into Japanese (CRIq-J and sCRIq-J) and to evaluate their reliability and criterion-related validity.
methodsFollowing international guidelines for cultural adaptation and translation, we translated and culturally adapted the CRIq and s-CRIq into Japanese. The study participants were 3567 community-dwelling Japanese older adults from a large-scale cohort. Global cognitive performance was assessed with the composite score of the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology-Functional Assessment Tool and global cognitive impairment (GCI) was defined as a mini-mental state examination score ≤ 23. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Multiple and logistic regression analyses were performed to examine associations between CRIq-J and sCRIq-J total scores and global cognitive performance, including GCI.
resultsCronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.58 for the CRIq-J and 0.48 for the sCRIq-J, reflecting the multidimensional nature of life-course experiences. After adjusting for age and sex, higher scores on both the CRIq-J (β = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.18-0.24, p < 0.001) and sCRIq-J (β = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.17-0.25, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with superior cognitive performance. Furthermore, higher CRI levels were associated with a significantly lower likelihood of GCI.
conclusionsThe CRIq-J and sCRIq-J demonstrated acceptable reliability and robust criterion-related validity in a Japanese population. These standardized tools represent a significant milestone for future CR research and the development of dementia prevention strategies in Japan.
