PCs can reduce the risk of dementia
Access to a personal computer lowers the risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older men by up to 40 per cent, a new study has claimed.
The study showed that the risk of dementia was about 30 to 40 per cent lower among older computer users than non-user.
Researchers at the University of Western Australia undertook an eight-year study of more than 5000 men in Perth aged between 65 to 85.
“As the world’s population ages, the number of people experiencing cognitive decline and dementia will increase to 50 million by 2025,” Professor Osvaldo Almeida, research Director at the WA-affiliate, the Centre for Health and Ageing, said.
