Conclusions
These preliminary findings are consistent with a relationship between risk modifiersand brain plaque/tangle deposition in nondemented individuals and supports maintenance of normal body weight, regular physical activity, and healthy diet to protect the brain during aging.

Understanding which factors protect against memory decline could lead to important advances in preventing and treating age-related memory loss and possibly even various forms of dementia, says Dickerson, who is an associate professor of Neurology at HMS. “We desperately need to understand how some older adults are able to function very well into their seventh, eight, and ninth decades..

Massachusetts General Hospital
Study suggests how
A study by Massachusetts General Hospital investigators examines a group of older adults whose memory performance is equivalent to that of younger individuals and finds that key areas of their brains resemble those of young people.
