Burnaby (Canada), Dec 19 (ANI): According to a new study by Simon Fraser University, older adults who indulge in a variety of different activities are able to reduce their risk of developing dementia. The research has been published in the 'Aging-US Journal'. The team found that engaging in a combination of hobbies, such as light exercise and connecting with loved ones, can reduce memory decline in adults between the ages of 65 and 89 more than any individual activity. Their findings showed that the effects of engaging in a combination of activities increased with age and was more impactful than historical factors such as education level or baseline memory. The study examined data from the National Institute on Aging's Health and Retirement Study and included 3,210 participants aged 65 to 89. Study participants were asked how often they engaged in 33 activities from 'never' to 'at least once a month' to 'several times a month' up to 'daily'. (NS)
