孤独不会加速记忆衰退,研究发现 Loneliness doesn't accelerate memory decline, study finds

欧洲一项针对1万多名成年人的大型研究发现,虽然孤独与初始记忆能力的低下有关,但它并不能加快随着时间推移而出现记忆衰退. A major European study of over 10,000 adults found that while loneliness is linked to poorer initial memory performance, it does not accelerate the rate of memory decline over time. 欧洲健康,老龄化和退休调查的研究人员指出:尽管影响了基线认知分数, 但衰弱程度与孤独感较低的人相匹配. Researchers from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe noted that despite affecting baseline cognitive scores, the progression of decline matched that of less lonely individuals. 专家认为保持社会参与可能仍然有助于建立认知性. Experts suggest maintaining social engagement may still help build cognitive resilience.
