A new study has found that mentally stimulating activities like using a computer, playing games, crafting and participating in social activities are linked to a lower risk or delay of age-related memory loss called mild cognitive impairment, and that the timing and number of these activities may also play a role. Researchers found that using a computer in middle-age was associated with a 48-percent lower risk of mild cognitive impairment. A total of 15 of 532 people who developed mild cognitive impairment, or 2 percent, used a computer in middle age compared to 77 of 1,468 people without mild cognitive impairment, or 5 percent. Using a computer in later life was associated with a 30-percent lower risk, and using a computer in both middle-age and later life was associated with a 37-percent lower risk of developing thinking and memory problems. Engaging in social activities, like going to movies or going out with friends, or playing games, like doing crosswords or playing cards, in both middle-age and later life were associated with a 20-percent lower risk of developing mild cognitive impairment. Craft activities were associated with a 42-percent lower risk, but only in later life. The more activities people engaged in during later life, the less likely they were to develop mild cognitive impairment. Those who engaged in two activities were 28 percent less likely to develop memory and thinking problems than those who took part in no activities, while those who took part in three activities were 45 percent less likely, those with four activities were 56 percent less likely and those with five activities were 43 percent less likely. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190710171407.htm |

I like this! Maybe also because I like all of the activities it listed  . Phew. But I wonder...since everyone is now learning technology from a young age...will memory loss be lower and lower with time? Hmm |

Too many users with weak memories...  As I know, learning *new things* is the key to keep the brain healthy. |

Maybe people with some mental impairment are less likley to spend time on computers BECAUSE they are mentally impaired. And maybe only people who find it difficult to think tend to avoid car playing and crafts, as they find them difficult. So maybe the causation is backwards. |
