Having a positive mental attitude could help protect against memory loss, finds new 16-year study 🧠 @dramberjohn.bsky.social et al. analyzed data from more than 10,000 over 50s and say lower psychological wellbeing could be a sign of oncoming cognitive harm. spr.ly/60184ppVo
Quote by Joshua Stott reads: While our findings are preliminary, they highlight the importance of considering psychosocial influences on brain health such as memory.
