quick - turn it off!: TV May Contribute To Alzheimer's vny.com 5-25-00 CLEVELAND (UPI) - Research by Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine indicates adults who keep their minds active between the ages of 40 and 60 are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who turn into couch potatoes. Robert Friedland, associate professor of neurology, advises those in middle age to keep learning and stay physically active. Friedland studied 551 people - 193 of them Alzheimer's victims - and found, in a study presented recently at the American Academy of Neurology's 52nd annual meeting, those who had been active outside of work were less likely to develop symptoms. Among the beneficial activities were swimming, golf and board games. The Alzheimer's victims also watched much more television than the healthy group. "People who were less active were more than three times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease as compared to those who were more active," Friedland said. Friedland said the brains of those who spend four to six hours a day in front of the television shut down because so many images are fighting for the viewer's attention. (cont) sightings.com
