5 5  **Social isolation linked to an increased risk of dementia, new study finds**
6 6  
7 7  The article reports on a study that found a link between social isolation and an increased risk of developing dementia. The study looked at data from over 5000 participants aged 65 and older, with an average age of 73, who were followed for up to 12 years. The researchers found that those who were socially isolated had a 27% increased risk of developing dementia compared to those who were not socially isolated. The study also found that even small social interactions could have a protective effect against dementia. The article suggests that simple interventions aimed at reducing social isolation in older adults could be meaningful in preventing dementia ([[Radde, 2023)>>https://www.npr.org/2023/01/17/1149512488/social-isolation-dementia-risk-study]].
