Active Brains May Lead to Lower Levels of Plaque Associated with Alzheimer’s

In a report from CNN Health, active brains may lead to lower levels of plaque associated with Alzheimer’s. When a debilitating condition, such as Alzheimer’s, causes severe impairments, Social Security disability benefits may be available.

Previous studies have shown that the risk of developing Alzheimer’s may be lowered with physical and mental activity; however, a recent study used brain scan images to show a link between lower levels of amyloid plaque and mental activities—such as games, writing and reading—over a lifetime.

The key connection in these findings is that the brains were kept active throughout an individual’s lifetime. Although physical activity was also tested, researchers didn’t find a difference with amyloid plaque levels. On the other hand, they indicate that the method used in assessing physical activity may have impacted the results.

The diagnosis of a severe mental or physical condition could mean that an individual is no longer able to work. Social Security disability benefits may be available to help offset the income that is no longer coming in. To learn if you or a loved one qualifies, you should seek legal counsel.
