Researchers followed 29,072 older adults (60 years old and over) over 10
years to investigate the link between lifestyle choices and memory loss.
They found a link between a healthy lifestyle and slower memory decline,
even in the presence of the APOE Ɛ4 gene, which is associated with
Alzheimer’s disease.
The researchers hope findings will inform public health initiatives
seeking to prevent memory loss in older adults.
The gradual loss of thinking abilities such as memory, reasoning, and
psychomotor speed is a natural part of aging. However, studies such as the
FINGER clinical trial have shown that it is possible to prevent cognitive
decline through lifestyle improvements.The impact of lifestyle factors on memory has been the subject of many
studies. However, previous research typically focused on a single lifestyle
factor, such as diet, physical activity, smoking, or drinking.
