2026年的一项研究将终生精神活动与低38%的阿尔茨海默氏病风险和5年延迟发病联系起来。 A 2026 study links lifelong mental activity to a 38% lower Alzheimer’s risk and delayed onset by five years.

2026年的一项神经学研究将终生参与阅读、写作和学习语言等精神刺激活动与38%的阿尔茨海默氏病风险降低和36%轻度认知障碍风险降低联系起来。 A 2026 study in Neurology® links lifelong engagement in mentally stimulating activities like reading, writing, and learning languages to a 38% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease and a 36% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment. 研究人员分析了8年来平均年龄在80岁的1,939名成年人的数据,发现高度活跃的个人在五年后平均形成阿尔茨海默氏症。 Researchers analyzed data from 1,939 adults aged 80 on average over eight years, finding that highly active individuals developed Alzheimer’s an average of five years later. 虽然该研究显示了关联性而不是因果关系,但它表明持续的心理接触可能支持大脑健康,公共教育和学习资源投资可能有助于降低痴呆症率。 While the study shows association, not causation, it suggests sustained mental engagement may support brain health, with public investment in education and learning resources potentially helping reduce dementia rates.
