Disabling dementia

1. Life enjoyment lowers the risk of disabling dementia in humans (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.59-0.78, p < .001).

   “Level of life enjoyment was inversely associated with the risk of disabling dementia: the multivariable hazard ratios were 0.75 [0.67-0.84] (p < .001) and 0.68 [0.59-0.78] (p < .001)”

1. Hobbies lower the risk of disabling dementia in humans (HR 0.82 (95% CI, 0.75-0.89)).

   “the multivariable hazard ratios of incident disabling dementia compared with "having no hobbies" were 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75-0.89) for "having a hobby"”
