Via Geekosystem.com. The moral of the story, never retire unless forced to.
The research conducted by Carole Dufouil, the director of research in neuroepidemiology at France’s National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and her colleagues at the Bordeaux School of Public Health, analyzed data from more than 429,000 self-employed workers in retirement and found conclusive evidence to associate later retirement with a lower risk of dementia. The results of the study were presented on Monday at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) in Boston.
“Our data show strong evidence of a significant decrease in the risk of developing dementia associated with older age at retirement, in line with the ‘use it or lose it’ hypothesis,” said Dufouil. “The patterns were even stronger when we focused on more recent birth cohorts.”
