SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Reaching 90 without dementia doesn’t mean you’re in the clear

A study of people over 90 found that dementia risk remains strongly shaped by sex, race and genetics, with women and black participants facing notably higher risks. Intriguingly, some people stayed cognitively healthy despite carrying major risk factors, potentially offering clues to how the brain can resist dementia deep into old age.

> Most adults sit for about 9 to 10 hours each day. Earlier studies have linked long, uninterrupted sitting with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and depression. Sitting has also been associated with dementia.
This is the first study to separate mentally passive sitting from mentally active sitting when examining dementia risk. ...
Mentally active sedentary behavior was linked to a lower risk of developing dementia among adults in middle age and older adulthood.
Spending more time in mentally active sedentary behavior was associated with a significant reduction in dementia risk, even when levels of passive sedentary behavior, light physical activity, and moderate to vigorous physical activity were maintained.
