Study Links Daily Naps to Higher Dementia Risk in Seniors

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University reported that a ten-year study of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and older found daily or frequent short naps were linked to a roughly 40-48% higher risk of developing dementia. The analysis, led by Dr.

Adam Spira, examined health records over the decade. The findings, first reported earlier this month, had indicated that older adults who nap daily face a 48% increased chance of dementia over ten years.

摘要

All four claims about a study on adults aged 65 and older and the increased risk of developing dementia linked to daily or frequent naps were partially confirmed. The claim that a ten-year study found a 40-48% increased risk of dementia with daily or frequent short naps was partially confirmed. The statement that a Johns Hopkins study found adults 65 and older who nap daily face a significantly higher chance of developing dementia over ten years was partially confirmed. The assertion that a Johns Hopkins study reports a 48% greater chance of developing dementia for adults 65 and older who nap daily over ten years was partially confirmed. The claim that a Johns Hopkins study found older adults who nap daily have a 48% greater chance of developing dementia over ten years was also partially confirmed.
