• Research indicates that using digital devices like smartphones, computers, and the internet may help reduce cognitive decline in individuals over 50.
• A meta-analysis of nearly 60 studies involving over 410,000 participants suggests that older adults who actively use these devices experience slower cognitive decline.
• Contrary to concerns about “digital dementia,” these technologies appear beneficial for cognitive health by possibly fostering social connections and mental engagement.
