在欧洲大型研究中,多种语言与大脑老化放缓和认知下降风险降低相关联。 Multilingualism linked to slower brain ageing and lower cognitive decline risk in large European study.

欧洲对86 000多名成人进行的一项大型研究发现,讲多种语言与生物老化速度放慢和认知下降风险降低有关。 A large European study of over 86,000 adults finds that speaking multiple languages is linked to slower biological ageing and reduced risk of cognitive decline. 与单语相比,多语种人士的大脑加速老化速度大大低于单一语种,所讲的语言越多,其益处就越大。 Multilingual individuals showed significantly lower rates of accelerated brain ageing compared to monolinguals, with greater benefits seen the more languages one speaks. 在对教育、生活方式和社会因素进行调整后,保护效果保持不变,这表明积极使用语言会加强涉及注意力、记忆和情感的大脑网络。 The protective effect remained after adjusting for education, lifestyle, and social factors, suggesting active language use strengthens brain networks involved in attention, memory, and emotion. 研究人员表示,研究结果支持将语言学习纳入公共卫生战略,以提高整个生命周期的认知复原力。 Researchers say the findings support integrating language learning into public health strategies to promote cognitive resilience across the lifespan.
