“Lifestyle changes improved cognition in people at risk for Alzheimer’s, study shows,” by Sandee LaMotte, CNN

“A new study finds personalized lifestyle interventions not only stopped cognitive decline in people at risk for Alzheimer’s, but actually increased their memory and thinking skills within 18 months. … The study was published Wednesday in the journal ‘Alzheimer’s and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association.’ … Evidence is growing that certain lifestyles changes such as diet, exercise and brain training might slow their mental decline, possibly even protect them from developing full-blown dementia.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

We’re seeing much more research showing that a “shotgun” lifestyle approach to Alzheimer’s is more promising than the conventional “rifle” shot drug approach.
