Midlife habit linked to brain aging
A recent study indicates that watching television for extended periods during middle age may accelerate the decline of brain health with aging, especially when the activity during viewing is low in terms of mental stimulation. The study showed that sitting for long stretches in front of the TV is associated with a decrease in the size of brain regions responsible for memory and executive functions, as well as changes in white matter that lead to impaired cognitive abilities and an increased risk of dementia, even after accounting for other health and behavioral factors. Mental activity while sitting is important, as more stimulating activities such as reading and hobbies are linked to greater protection of brain health. These effects are more pronounced in men, although the reasons for this difference are not yet fully understood and require further research.
