I wonder how they know that when dementia is not inevitable.
can u be at greater risk if say it runs in the family , your parents ect ect ????????
Probably. I'm not sure.
My point was - how do they know dementia would have set in earlier had someone not learned a second language or musical instrument?
or
Are people who are not going to get dementia at all, or not until quite late. more likely to learn a second language or musical instrument?
Is there less dementia in Europe where lots of people speak English and how do they know what the level would be had they not learned English?
They said that
There findings show that musicians & bi-linguals require less effort (brain power) to perform the same task which "could" protect them against cognitive decline & delay the onset of dementia ???
so says a senior scientist at Toronto , Ontarios , Baycrest Rotman institute .

As EFL implies - how do they no that those more prone to early dementia, also struggle to learn a musical instrument and language etc.
I've heard it set that you are also screwed, if you cannot stand on on leg.
