For years, researchers have believed prolonged sitting could raise dementia risk \u2014 but new findings suggest the type of sitting may matter more than previously thought.<\/p>\n

The research, which was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine in March, found that replacing mentally passive sedentary behavior with mentally active sedentary behavior was associated with a significant reduction in dementia risk.<\/p>\n

Mentally active sedentary behaviors could include reading, office work<\/a> and other activities that keep the brain engaged while sitting, while mentally passive behaviors may include watching television or other low-engagement screen activities.<\/p>\n

To gather the findings, Swedish researchers analyzed data from more than 20,000 adults between ages 35 and 64 who were tracked over a 19-year period, between 1997 and 2016, according to a press release.<\/p>\n

Participants answered questions about their sitting habits, physical activity<\/a> and other lifestyle behaviors, while dementia diagnoses were identified using Swedish health and death records.<\/p>\n

Mentally active sedentary behavior was associated with “a significant reduction in dementia risk” compared to more passive sitting activities.<\/p>\n

Although the study was based in Sweden, the release said the findings “are likely generalizable to a wider global population” and could help “inform public health<\/a> guidelines and preventive strategies to reduce dementia.”<\/p>\n

In a statement, lead researcher Dr. Mats Hallgren of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute said the study highlighted major distinctions between passive and mentally engaging sedentary habits when it comes to brain health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“While all sitting involves minimal energy expenditure, it may be differentiated by the level of brain activity,” said Hallgren.<\/p>\n

“How we use our brains while we are sitting appears to be a crucial determinant of future cognitive functioning<\/a> and, as we have shown, may predict dementia onset.”<\/p>\n

Sedentary behavior is a “ubiquitous but modifiable risk factor for many health conditions<\/a>, including dementia,” according to the researcher.<\/p>\n

“Our study adds the observation that not all sedentary behaviors are equivalent; some may increase the risk of dementia, while others may be protective,” he added. “It is important to remain physically active<\/a> as we age, but also mentally active \u2014 especially when we are sitting.”<\/p>\n

The CDC projects that by 2060, nearly 14 million American adults<\/a> will have Alzheimer’s disease.<\/p>\n

One recent study published by the Alzheimer’s Association found that a person’s biological age<\/a> may be tied to dementia risk.<\/p>\n

Researchers also recently found that a higher intake of unprocessed meat may protect against dementia<\/a> in older people who have a variant of a certain gene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
