Fox News
For older adults, finding the sweet spot of screen time could help reduce their risk of dementia, a recent study from the School of Global Public Health at New York University found.
"We found that regular users experienced approximately half the risk of dementia than non-regular users," noted lead author Gawon Cho, a PhD candidate from the School of Global Public Health at NYU. "If we challenge the brain, we can keep neural pathways healthy and stronger for longer." "Without a cure for dementia, prevention and risk reduction are important." "People need to remain engaged in life, whatever that looks like for them." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
More extended periods of regular internet usage in late adulthood were also found to help reduce the risks of subsequent dementia incidence.
