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 ≤ B ≤ 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.

在加拿大老龄化纵向研究中探索中老年人的宗教参与与记忆之间的关联。

调查 45-85 岁人群的宗教参与与记忆之间的关联。使用加拿大老龄化纵向研究，宗教参与的频率从“每天”到“从不”进行衡量；使用 Rey 听觉语言学习测试评估即时和延迟回忆记忆。我们将记忆回归到年龄 < 65 岁和≥ 65 岁的人的宗教参与。我们发现了一些影响修正的证据：在 65 岁以下的人群中，每月或每年参与与从不参与相比，与即时和延迟回忆记忆呈正相关；在 ≥ 65 岁的人群中，每周或更多次参与与从不参与相比，与即时和延迟回忆记忆呈负相关。然而，回归系数很小 (-0.09 ≤ B ≤ 0. 06) 并且大多数没有统计学意义 (p < 0.05)。在我们的样本中，没有足够的证据得出宗教参与与记忆相关的结论。
