A new study has found that people who are mentally stimulated show less
cognitive decline. This means that the brain doesnt age as rapidly when a
person does a great deal of reading and writing. We are looking to figure
out how much of your routine, day-to-day activities are involved in things
we think are basically designed to acquire new information, or to process
information you already had, said Robert Wilson, senior neuropsychologist
at the Ruth Alzheimers Disease Center.

Theres been a real controversy about why a cognitively active lifestyle is
associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline, said Robert Wilson,
leader of the investigation from University Medical Center in Chicago. One
theory has been that cognitive inactivity is simply a consequence of the
underlying disease, rather than a true risk factor.

The research also included 294 patients who died at an average age of 89
and underwent a brain autopsy to find changes related to the cognition
process. The scientists who practiced the autopsies had no knowledge of
the clinical evaluation data, so they werent predisposed to the results.
.
For people suffering from dementia and Alzheimers, the results were very
encouraging, because the scientists concluded that people doing a great
deal of reading, writing or other mentally stimulating activities did not
show symptoms of Alzheimers, even if they had tendencies or physical signs
of suffering the disease.
