| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With local residents over the age of 40, a neuropsychological function assessment, arterial sclerosis examination and a questionnaire survey on their lifestyle and intellectual activities were conducted to clarify their actual conditions. We then examined the relationship between the degree of arterial sclerosis and lifestyle including the intellectual activities, and preservation of cognitive function. By focusing on the difference between those who retain excellent higher brain functions and who don’t also, we revealed the strategy for the middle-aged and older to lead a healthy life in their old age.
