Collaborative Dementia Study with UCL

In a continuation to our collaboration in the study of dementia, the study on the “Association of Daily Intellectual Activities With Lower Risk of Incident Dementia Among Older Chinese Adults” shows that active participation in intellectual activities, even in late life, might help prevent dementia in older adults. Given the growing older population worldwide, promoting regular engagement in intellectual activities might help delay or prevent dementia (JAMA Psychiatry. Published online May 30, 2018. doi:10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2018.0657).
