Older adults who took a multivitamin each day for three years found a mild improvement in their memory after one year compared with people taking a placebo, or sugar pill, a new study found.
At the start of the study, 3,560 adults older than age 60 were asked to learn 20 words on a computer program. The study participants had three seconds to study each word before the next appeared. Immediately after, participants were asked to type all the words they could remember.
"In science, this type of replication is one of the tenants of quote 'believing your findings,' unquote. So, we are very excited about this replication because it adds a bit more confidence in what we're observing," Brickman said. "I also worry taking a multivitamin could distract people from doing things we know are more beneficial for cognitive function, such as eating right, getting exercise, keeping social and getting good sleep," Linder said.Certain personality traits may be a key factor in whether people develop mild cognitive impairment later in life, a new study found.
