The protective effect against aging increased with each additional language spoken, creating a dose-dependent relationship where trilingual and multilingual speakers showed greater benefits than those who were merely bilingual.</span

The study found that people from multilingual societies were 2.17 times less likely to experience accelerated aging compared to those from monolingual societies, even after adjusting for social and environmental factors.</span

Researchers suggest that promoting multilingualism could serve as a cost-effective public health strategy for healthy aging, comparable to programs encouraging physical activity or smoking cessation in preventing age-related decline.</span
