Midlife behavior

By Maureen E. Daly Catholic News Service Many people dread the onset of weak- ness and senility associated with aging. Now there is encouraging news that behavior in midlife can ward off the con- fusion and memory loss associated with aging and Alzheimer’s disease. “There are three things we recommend to delay or slow the progress of Alzheimer’s—exercise, cognitive stimula- tion and socialization,” said Brigid Reynolds, nurse practitioner at the mem- ory disorders clinic at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington D.C. Reynolds is working as a researcher in the Healthy Aging and Memory Study sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study, a group of 35 acade- mic centers dedicated to research associ- ated with Alzheimer’s. The Georgetown project, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the federal government’s National Institutes of Health, is looking at methods for diagnosing Alzheimer’s.
