A recent study discovered a connection between childhood adversity and cognitive decline in old age. Researchers analyzed data from 20,000 older adults and found that those who experienced hardships in their early years, such as poverty, neglect, or family instability, were more likely to suffer from cognitive impairment later in life.
The study highlights the importance of addressing childhood adversities to promote lifelong cognitive health. It also emphasizes the need for early interventions and support systems to help children overcome these challenges and reduce the risk of cognitive decline in their later years.
