A new study has found that mentally stimulating activities, like using computers, playing games, making crafts and participating in social activities, are linked to a lower risk or delay of age-related memory loss called mild cognitive impairment (MCI). 一项新研究发现，像使用电脑、玩游戏、手工制作和参加社交活动这样的精神刺激活动，与轻度认知障碍患病低风险或延迟患病有关。轻度认知障碍指与年龄相关的记忆丧失。 There is strong evidence that MCI can be a precursor of dementia. 有强有力的证据表明，轻度认知障碍可能是痴呆的前兆。 Researchers found that using a computer in middle-age was associated with a 48% lower risk of MCI. 研究人员发现，中年使用电脑会使轻度认知障碍的患病风险降低48%。 Engaging in social activities, like going to movies or going out with friends, or playing games, like doing crosswords or playing cards, in both middle-age and later life were associated with a 20% lower risk of developing MCI. 无论是在中年还是晚年，参加诸如看电影、和朋友出去玩、玩填字游戏或打扑克牌之类的社交活动会使轻度认知障碍的患病风险降低20%。 Craft activities were associated with a 42% lower risk, but only in later life. 参加手工活动使该疾病的患病风险降低42%，但仅在晚年有效。
