staying in school and having a healthy heart.researchers in http://www.nejm.org /doi/full/10.1056/ne jmoa1504327?quer y=featured_home#t =articlemethods boston and france examined over 5,000 people during four different time periods, the first starting in 1977 and the last ending in 2008.over the course of the decades studied, the rate of participants who and cardiovascular health improved, while the rate of dementia fell.the average age for when dementia was diagnosed also increased, from 80 at the beginning of the study to 85 at the end, and the overall prevalence of the disease dropped by 44 percent. interestingly, the health improvements were only found among those who had high school degrees. there wasn't strong evidence that getting a college education lowered the risk even more, but the study also included relatively few http://www.nytimes. com/2016/02/11/he alth/education-may- cut-dementia-risk- study-finds.html college-educated participants. as for why education seems to lower the risk of dementia, there are a couple theories. one is education creates more connections in the brain. another is it leads to higher incomes, which allows for access to better nutrition. combating the condition could prove less expensive than previously thought, as the enforcement of mandatory high school attendance has gotten stronger over time.the researchers say http://www.nytimes. com/2016/02/11/he cut-dementia-risk- study-finds.html the sheer number of dementia cases will increase for at least a while, though, because much of the "baby boomer" generation hasn't yet reached the average age watch newsy 24-7 on your tv or download the newsy app for on updates that study took a broad look at patients suffering from all kinds of dementia ... including alzheimer's disease. rates are falling ... the number of people with grow.the alzheimer's association estimates there are 210-thousand ohioans with alzheimer's... by 20-25, they expect there will be a quarter million alzheimer's patients in the state.... a 19-percent increase. in kentucky that number was 68-thousand last year ... that's expected to jump by 26 percent in ten years, to 86-thousand. the list of republicans running for president is slowly slimming down.. and many of the drop outs used to be front runners.. why the view from the top is often welcome back to the now cincinnati... right now -- crews are unloading the newest street car.it arrived just a little while ago.race street is now closed close from findlay to mcmicken while henry street is closed from elm to race. they'll reopen once the street car has been fully unloaded. it seems hackers are every where these days. days. they have hit the *irs and we are barely a month into tax season! we have carol looking into what happened and you need to know.carol? the agency says it all started when the identity thieves behind the hack got personal information outside the i-r-s. s.they then used malware to try to get electronic filing personal identification numbers for stolen social security numbers.those hackers had more than 460-thousand social security numbers... and were able to get pins for more good news is... the i-r-s says this time around... no one's compromised in this hack. but here's what you need to watch out for.if someone uses your social security number to file a tax refund before you do... the i-r-s might think you already filed and got your refund. when you file your return later... you'll get a notice from the i-r-s saying more than one return was filed for you.you should then contact the i-r-s immediately. the government estimates tax fraud scams cost us around 15- million dollars last year. kentucky is among the states taking action to cut down on theft this tax season.but it means a delay in your refund. the state says those without errors in the returns will be waiting about three weeks.and that's if they file electronically.it will be even longer if you chose paper filing. one way to protect yourself... we told you earlier this week on "the now" about making sure on your computer before you file yourself.experts say that's the best way to stay one step ahead. today we learned that two new tenants will be coming to the banks...and could be opening as soon as this summer.
