“Regular internet use may be linked to lower dementia risk in older adults, study says”

“Regular internet use may be linked to lower dementia risk in older adults, study says,” by Jen Christensen, CNNHealth

 

“A study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society suggested that older people who regularly used the internet were less likely to develop dementia. … People who used the internet at the start of the study had about half the risk of dementia as people who were not regular users.”

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

I like the sound of that as I’m online all day. Even if the causality is the other way around—people least likely to develop dementia are most likely to use the internet—I’m fine with that as well.
