根据对2 800多名祖父母进行的一项新研究,祖父母身份与老年人更好的大脑健康有关,特别是语言流利和记忆。 Grandparenting is linked to better brain health in older adults, especially verbal fluency and memory, according to a new study of over 2,800 grandparents.

一项新的研究将祖父母与更好的认知健康联系起来,发现经常照顾孙辈的老年人的语言流畅度和记忆力都有提高,而祖母的认知能力下降速度较慢。 A new study links grandparenting to better cognitive health, finding that older adults who regularly care for grandchildren show improved verbal fluency and memory, with grandmothers experiencing slower cognitive decline. 这项研究以2 887个祖父母(50岁以上)为基础,表明不论具体任务或频率如何,照顾者在精神和情感上的参与可以防止下降,特别是在支助性自愿家庭环境中。 The research, based on 2,887 grandparents over 50, suggests that the mental and emotional engagement of caregiving—regardless of specific tasks or frequency—may protect against decline, especially in supportive, voluntary family settings.
