Study Links Tech Use to Reduced Dementia Risk in Older Adults
Facebook enthusiasts, “grandfluencers,” and all tech-savvy seniors, you may want to share this recent study with your group chat: Researchers found that frequent use of digital technology might help stave off cognitive decline in older adults.
After reviewing 57 studies involving more than 411,000 older adults, researchers found that consistent use of technology — e.g. smartphones, computers, email, and social media — was associated with a 42% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment or dementia. The study results challenge the “digital dementia” hypothesis, which suggests reliance on tech can weaken cognitive abilities in the long run.
But this isn’t to say there’s no such thing as too much screen time: “Our findings are not a blanket endorsement of mindless scrolling,” co-lead author Jared Benge told CNN. “They are instead a hint that the generation that gave us the internet has found ways to get some net positive benefits from these tools to the brain.”
