From 2004 to 2017, Cherian and colleagues studied 106 participants of the Rush Memory and Aging Project who had a history of stroke for cognitive decline, including decline in one's ability to think, reason and remember. (medicalxpress.com)
They also looked at additional factors that are known to affect cognitive performance, including age, gender, education level, participation in cognitively stimulating activities, physical activity, smoking and genetics. (medicalxpress.com)
The estimated effect of the diet remained strong even after taking into account participants' level of education and participation in cognitive and physical activities. (medicalxpress.com)
In contrast to the results of slower decline with higher MIND diet score, stroke survivors who scored high on the Mediterranean and DASH diets, did not have significant slowing in their cognitive abilities. (medicalxpress.com)
Language is a complex ability of the human brain and switching between different languages takes cognitive flexibility. (howstuffworks.com)
So far, the Nun Study has helped scientists better predict how cognitive and linguistic abilities factor into Alzheimer's and other types of dementia risk. (howstuffworks.com)
This study helps show that while cognitive abilities naturally decline as part of the normal aging process, there is something that we can do to mitigate this process," says Martha Clare Morris, ScD, a Rush nutritional epidemiologist and senior author of the paper. (rush.edu)
During the course of the study, each person received annual, standardized testing for cognitive ability in five areas - episodic memory, working memory, semantic memory, visuospatial ability and perceptual speed. (rush.edu)
The study group also completed annual food frequency questionnaires, allowing the researchers to compare participants' reported seafood intake with changes in their cognitive abilities as measured by the tests. (rush.edu)
While epidemiologic studies have shown the importance of seafood and omega-3 fatty acids in preventing dementia, few prior studies have examined their associations with specific types of cognitive ability. (rush.edu)
In the new Neurology article, the researchers report associations between seafood consumption and two of the areas of cognitive ability that they tested. (rush.edu)
Both perspectives share the idea that cognitive abilities are not the unique predictor of successful adaptation but that emotional competencies have to be taken into consideration. (psicothema.com)
You can think of your cognitive reserve as your brain's ability to find alternate ways of getting a job done. (physioed.com)
Cognitive health is the goal, and it means to develop and preserve cognitive abilities that allows people to have purpose, maintain social ties, function independently, and facilitate recovery from injury or illness. (physioed.com)
Alzheimer's1
Further, the protective association of seafood was even stronger among individuals with a common genotype (APOE-ε4) that increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. (rush.edu)
Mentally2
Recent research has shown that one of the most significant factors in avoiding a decline in thinking ability involves keeping mentally active. (moderndogmagazine.com)
The results were the same after researchers adjusted for other factors that could affect memory and thinking skills, such as education, physical activity, smoking and participating in mentally stimulating activities. (rush.edu)
People5
People who engage in challenging mental activities, such as solving crossword puzzles, playing games, engaging in new activities, taking courses, traveling, reading, or engaging in social activities with many different people, are more likely to avoid an age-related decline in mental ability. (moderndogmagazine.com)
People who speak multiple languages differ from those who speak only one language in many characteristics, and it's important to be sure we are truly looking at the effect of multilingualism and not the effects of those other characteristics,' Tyas says. (howstuffworks.com)
This is similar to interpreting the established protective impact of higher levels of education on dementia: We cannot say whether it is the education itself or the fact that people who attain higher levels of education may be different, and it is those differences that explain the reduced risk of dementia,' Tyas explains. (howstuffworks.com)
The fact that high EI people appraised the examination situation as less threatening partly explained this effect. (psicothema.com)
The purpose of alerts and warnings is to provide the necessary information to warn the public and effect the necessary actions that will lead to their safety and to deliver the messages to populations at risk of imminent threats with the goal of maximizing the probability that people take protective actions and minimize the delay in taking those actions.

Decline3
No one knows exactly why dogs or humans decline in their mental abilities when they age. (moderndogmagazine.com)
They also had slower rates of decline in a test of perceptual speed, or the ability to quickly compare letters, objects and patterns. (rush.edu)
The study did not find a significant difference in the rate of decline in episodic memory (recollection of personal experiences), working memory (short-term memory used in mental function in the immediate present) and visuospatial ability (comprehension of relationships between objects). (rush.edu)
Effectively2
The ability to effectively respond to questions from customers as well as management and other employees of the organization is essential. (supersteel.com)
Following a series of natural disasters, including Hurricane Katrina, that revealed shortcomings in the nation's ability to effectively alert populations at risk, Congress passed the Warning, Alert, and Response Network (WARN) Act in 2006. (nationalacademies.org)
Findings2

Capacity2
Capacity is the ability to handle the volume of work required for success in the position. (supersteel.com)

To determine whether a child's injury was likely to have been inflicted rather than accidental, the clinician must establish the full extent of the injury and must understand the child's developmental level and abilities. (medscape.com)
Factors2
So, in the Nun Study, we have a greater ability to focus on multilingualism without it being influenced by all these other factors that usually vary from person to person during adulthood and that can weaken other studies. (howstuffworks.com)
Both factors would have common without the endemic character of other times, these elements which would ultimately be historical, pictures still affect young children who live in political and economic factors that would define, at disadvantageous conditions1,2, therefore justifying a given moment, the country's wealth distribution the researchers' interest in identifying the and production3. (bvsalud.org)
Shown1
The Mediterranean and DASH diets have been shown to be protective against coronary artery disease and stroke, but it seems the nutrients emphasized in the MIND diet may be better suited to overall brain health and preserving cognition," Cherian said. (medicalxpress.com)
Tests2

Study4
It turns out that multilingualism may have a protective effect against dementia , according to data from a recent study out of The University of Waterloo in Canada. (howstuffworks.com)
These similarities made the nuns perfect for the study of how multilingualism affects dementia. (howstuffworks.com)
A bonus finding of the study is that other forms of linguistic ability, such as writing, could actually be more important than speaking several languages. (howstuffworks.com)
As these assumptions were supported, study 2 (N= 75) tested the hypothesis of a moderating effect of TEI on the relationship between stress and psychological and somatic health. (psicothema.com)
