Large-scale study from the USA
Scientists from the United States conducted a study with brain autopsies of almost 600 centenarians and concluded what habits helped them avoid dementia even at 90, Naked Science reports.
The experiment analyzed the lifestyle and mental functions of older people from 1997 to 2022, and examined their brains after death.
Proper nutrition, regular exercise, and the absence of bad habits provide a greater chance of maintaining cognitive function in old age, experts said.
At the same time, scientists emphasized that even if the brains of deceased people who followed healthy habits during life showed typical neurological symptoms of dementia (amyloid plaques, changes in the vascular system, neurofibrillary tangles), their cognitive indicators still remained at a high level.
Professor Liron Sinwani compared this effect to a trick that allows you to deceive biology.
We previously wrote that scientists have identified an unexpected cause of obesity: a visual death trap – you look and get fat.
