Brain Health in Aging Adults

Three studies highlight the issues of sedentary behavior and memory, the decline of brain health with age in psychosis, and risk of dementia with anticholinergic drugs: sitting too much is linked to changes in a section of the brain that is critical for memory; brain health declines as age, body mass index (BMI), and substance use increase in psychosis; and certain anticholinergic drugs appear to increase dementia risk.
