This routine habit could mean you have dementia...
The research, which was led by UC San Francisco and Harvard Medical School along with Brigham and Women's Hospital,"its teaching affiliate," found that dementia may impact parts of your brain by way of your wake-stimulating neurons. The project followed 1,401 older individuals ranging from, who had been studied for a 14-year period by Rush Memory and Aging Project at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago.
The individuals observed wore a device that recorded their activeness. Each non-active time tracked between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. was considered a nap. The participants wore the watch-like contraption for as long as two weeks. Annually, each individual was given a series of neuropsychological exams to test their cognition. At the beginning of the research, 75.7% of those studied had no cognitive deterioration, 19.5% of them had mild cognitive deterioration, and 4.1% had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease.
Dr. Richard Isaacson, director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic in the Center for Brain Health at Florida Atlantic University's Schmidt College of Medicine, who was uninvolved in the study, explained via,"Excessive napping may be one of the many clues that a person could be on the road to cognitive decline, and trigger an in-person evaluation with a treating physician.
Isaacson also warned,"I think the public isn't aware that Alzheimer's is a brain disease that oftentimes causes changes in mood and sleep behavior." He advised that anyone who experiences a significant increase in their need to nap should see their doctor.But isn't this contradictory to everything we've ever learned, that napping is beneficial to elderly adults? Well, don't dismiss the goodness of some napping.
