Mild Cognitive Impairment and computer use

Don't complain if your spouse or grandpa or auntie is using the computer too much. Watch for it when they lose interest. It's a study worth looking at. . .

"In a study of 100 older people with mean age of 84 years, there was a significant decline in computer use among the eight participants who developed MCI over 43 months of follow-up, compared with the 92 people whose cognitive skills remained stable (P=0.019), Jeffrey Kaye, MD, of Oregon Health & Science University, and colleagues reported at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Boston."
