Inactivity May Be a Symptom, Not a Cause, of Dementia

11 Feb 2021 Keeping the brain active in our golden years whether by taking up a hobby, doing those crossword puzzles, or socializing with friends can stave off dementia, right? While this “use it or lose it” mantra seems intuitive, it might not be true, according to a study published in the February issue of Lancet Public Health. Tapping extensive longitudinal data from more than 850,000 women, researchers led by Sarah Floud at the University of Oxford in England found that women who reported not participating in enriching activities were more likely to develop dementia within the following few years. Ten years later, however, the inactive women were no more likely to get dementia than those who had reported being active. The findings suggest that not partaking in brain-stimulating activities is a symptom of, rather than causes, incipient dementia.
