USA: Cognitively Stimulating Leisure Activity Protects From Further Cognitive Decline
High levels of cognitively stimulating leisure activity (CSLA) in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can slow further decline, according to a study recently published online in the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement.
Jungjoo Lee, from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, and colleagues examined the longitudinal relationship between participation in different levels of CSLA and three cognitive functions (i.e., memory, working memory, and attention and processing speed) among 5,932 older adults with MCI participating in the Health and Retirement Study (2012 to 2020).
