- One type of sitting may pose greater dementia risk than another, study suggests
A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that replacing mentally passive sedentary activities (like watching TV) with mentally active ones (like reading) significantly reduces dementia risk. Swedish researchers analyzed 20,000 adults over 19 years, linking mentally engaging sitting behaviors to lower dementia incidence.
