A study published in Neurology found that engaging in intellectually stimulating activities such as reading, writing or learning languages throughout life is associated with a 38% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease and a 36% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment.

A study published in Neurology found that engaging in intellectually stimulating activities such as reading, writing or learning languages throughout life is associated with a 38% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease and a 36% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment.

Researchers tracked 1,939 participants with an average age of 80 who did not have dementia at the study's start, following them for approximately eight years. During this period, 551 participants developed Alzheimer's disease and 719 developed mild cognitive impairment.

Researchers tracked 1,939 participants with an average age of 80 who did not have dementia at the study's start, following them for approximately eight years. During this period, 551 participants developed Alzheimer's disease and 719 developed mild cognitive impairment.

The study examined cognitive enrichment across three life stages: early enrichment before age 18 included access to books and learning foreign languages, middle age enrichment included library membership and museum visits, and later life enrichment included reading and playing games.

People in the top 10% of lifetime cognitive enrichment developed Alzheimer's disease at an average age of 94, compared to age 88 for those in the bottom 10%. For mild cognitive impairment, the top group developed symptoms at age 85 versus age 78 for the bottom group.

Dr. Andrea Zammit from Rush University Medical Center stated that cognitive health in later life is strongly influenced by lifelong exposure to intellectually stimulating environments. The study does not prove causation but only shows an association between lifelong learning and reduced dementia risk.

Dr. Isolde Radford of Alzheimer's Research UK noted that only a third of UK adults realize they can reduce their risk of dementia. She emphasized that dementia is not an inevitable part of aging and called for government action to protect brain health through measures addressing air pollution and education.

People with the highest level of cognitive enrichment developed Alzheimer's disease at an average age of 94, compared to age 88 for those with the lowest level. For mild cognitive impairment, the highest enrichment group developed symptoms at age 85 versus age 78 for the lowest group.
