Stay relax and calm to avoid dementia, study suggests
According to a new study, people, who stay relax and calm, have least odds to become the victim of dementia in older age.
In the study, the researchers provided questionnaires (with personality related questions) to 500 elderly people, and they found that risk of developing dementia was nearly 50% less in the people who stayed relax and calm. The study has been published in the weekly journal of Neurology.
Experts from the UK say in this connection that the study provides enough evidence to be socially active all through life.
In UK, nearly 700,000 people are the victim of dementia and according to some estimates the number of cases would increase 1.7m by the end of 2051.
The questionnaire was developed to measure neuroticism (a term refers to easily distressed people) in these people. The researchers found that people who were not easily distressed were self-satisfied and calm, while easily distressed people were not emotionally stable and they were found nervous and negative too.
The study also found that people who were not socially active but relaxed and calm had a 50% decreased risk of getting dementia than the people who were prone to distress and socially isolated.
The researchers noted that calm and outgoing people had 50% lower risk of developing the disease than those who easily distressed. In the study, it was also determined how many times a person participated in different leisure activities and what was the richness of their social interactions.
