The risk of dementia could decrease with consistent use of smartphones and other technology among older adults, according to a new study from Baylor University. Researchers found that engaging with digital devices may help maintain cognitive function and delay the onset of dementia-related symptoms.
As technology becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, older adults who frequently use smartphones for communication, social media, or even games may experience cognitive benefits. The study suggests that the mental stimulation provided by these devices can enhance brain activity, ultimately contributing to improved memory and cognitive skills.
Experts emphasize the importance of staying mentally active, and incorporating technology into daily routines may serve as an effective strategy for older adults. By embracing smartphones and other digital tools, seniors could not only stay connected with loved ones but also actively engage their minds, potentially reducing their risk of developing dementia as they age.
