Widespread use of digital technology may be associated with lower rates of cognitive decline and cognitive impairment in adults over 50 years old, according to a meta-analysis published in Nature Human Behaviour. 🧪
A meta-analysis of technology use and cognitive aging - Nature Human Behaviour
The first generation who engaged with digital technologies has reached the age where risks of dementia emerge, and the question emerges how digital technologies have affected cognitive capabilities. This meta-analysis synthesized existing evidence of 57 studies, finding that the use of digital technologies was associated with a reduced risk of cognitive impairment.
