Study finds that education may help reduce the risk of dementia
The risk of developing dementia may be decreasing for heart-healthy people with at least a high school education, according to a new study in The New England Journal of Medicine. The research findings suggest that among residents of one town in Massachusetts, a reduction of new cases of dementia seen over three decades may be associated with higher levels of education and improvements in reducing heart health risk factors. However, this study only shows correlation, not cause and effect. The researchers also saw a trend of fewer cases of Alzheimer’s disease, but this finding wasn’t statistically significant.
