Activities Delay Onset of Memory DeclineAugust 4, 2009 — For the
second time in six years, researchers at Albert Einstein College
of Medicine of Yeshiva University have shown that people who
engage in brain-stimulating activities in later years can reduce
their risk of developing Alzheimer's and other types of dementia
or delay its onset. The latest study, published in Neurology,
found that cognitive activities as diverse as doing crossword
puzzles and playing music can delay the occurrence of dementia.
