- This new grant furthers prior research, published as findings of the ACTIVE Study in 2017 , that showed a small amount of cognitive training significantly reduced the risk and incidence of dementia among older adults.
- This study addresses the central question that most people have about brain training does training your brain reduce your chances of dementia?
- Researchers reported an up to 48 percent reduction in dementia incidence among people who asked to complete up to 18 hours of training and an overall 29 percent reduction in dementia risk.
- Its gratifying to see the NIH going the distance building on the established science of brain training to answer the crucial question of dementia prevention, Dr. Mahncke observed.
