    A new study in JAMA Neurology suggests engaging in brain-stimulating activities was associated with a lower risk of developing mild cognitive impairment in adults 70 and older. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the intermediate zone between normal cognitive aging and dementia, so examining potential protective lifestyle-related factors against cognitive decline and dementia is important, according to the article.

    Playing games, crafting, using a computer and engaging in social activities were associated with a decreased risk of MCI in the study by Yonas E. Geda, M.D., M.Sc., of the Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Ariz. The study included 1,929 adults who were followed up to new-onset MCI during a median period of four years, at which point 456 participants had developed MCI.
