---------------------------------
An increase in sleepiness for women in their 80s could double the likelihood of brain health decline and diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia, according to a new study.
The research, published this month in the journal Neurology, discovered women in their eighties who experience sleep disruption throughout a five-year period have an association with cognitive aging.
“Sleep is essential for cognitive health, as it allows the brain to rest and rejuvenate, enhancing our ability to think clearly and remember information,” said study author Yue Leng of the University of California, San Francisco. “However, little is known about how changes in sleep and cognition are connected over time and how these changes relate to dementia risk in the later decades of life.”
