A balanced diet and the practice of some exercise are useful to prevent dementia, however, a study published in the British Medical Journal reveals that marriage or living as a couple helps you to reduce the risk of suffering a cognitive deterioration in old age.
According to the Swiss and Finnish scientists, living as a couple represents a series of social and cognitive challenges, which have a protective effect against the cognitive deterioration that occurs in adulthood or the development of diseases such as Alzheimer's.
The study specifies that people without a partner are twice as likely to develop cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease compared to people who are married or living with someone else.
Meanwhile, researchers say that 50-year-olds who are widowed or divorced are three times more likely to develop dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
However, the researcher Miia Kivipelto, co-author of the study reveals that with these results a preventive treatment can be performed to reduce the incidence of these conditions in adults who have lost their partner.
The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that the number of people suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's will triple by 2050, that is, currently between two and eight individuals out of 100, over 60 years old, suffer from cognitive deterioration.
Thus,Demential Care Central recommends exercise, since walking for only an hour improves cognitive functions; take a balanced diet, socialize, reduce stress, control blood pressure and do mental activities such as board games, playing an instrument, dancing, solving puzzles or crosswords. And you, what activity do you do to prevent dementia?
