<p>Dear Editor:</p>
<p>I am pleased to submit a review article entitled “<strong>Cognitive reserve and successful aging: an integrative literature review</strong>” by Luisa Teixeira dos Santos and Amer Cavalheiro Hamdan for consideration for publication in the <em>Interamerican Journal of Psychology/Revista Interamericana de Psicología</em>.</p>
<p>In this manuscript, we aimed to identify and highlight the most relevant factors that may influence cognitive reserve and successful aging. Historically, cognitive function maintenance is an integral part of the definition of successful aging. Thus, the contribution of the cognitive reserve may be a significant marker to aging successfully. Identifying influential aspects of successful aging finds its clinical application in counseling older adults and their families, proposing lifestyle adaptations to promote cognitive reserve and successful aging.</p>
<p>We believe that this manuscript is appropriate for publication by the <em>Interamerican Journal of Psychology/ Revista Interamericana de Psicología</em> because this study can contribute to a clear and objective overview of the subject.</p>
<p>This manuscript has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.&nbsp; We have no conflicts of interest to disclose.</p>
<p>Thank you for your consideration!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
