Multilingualism Subtracts Up to 13 Years from Brain Age

Multilingualism slows brain aging along a definitive gradient. Utilizing a machine-learning "brain aging clock" driven by magnetoencephalography data, the study demonstrated that speaking two, three, or four languages correlates with brains appearing 6, 7, and 13 years younger than a participant's chronological age, respectively.

Lifetime Estrogen Exposure Shields Women from Brain Atrophy

A new study demonstrates that lifetime estrogen accumulation, from early-life birth control, late menopause, or hormone therapy, protects brain health in older women, resulting in larger memory center volumes and thicker cortices.

This shows a person surrounded by things like coffee cups, trees, and plants.

Reducing Visceral Fat Protects the Brain for Decades

A landmark 16-year MRI study identified cumulative abdominal fat as a specific, modifiable risk factor for brain atrophy. The findings demonstrate that sustained reductions in visceral fat, mediated by better glucose control, are essential for preserving hippocampal volume and cognitive function in late midlife, independent of total weight loss.
