Living near water, such as lakes or the sea, significantly reduces cognitive decline in older adults, as shown in a study analyzing data from the UK Biobank.
The study found that individuals with high levels of blue space around their home exhibited a 13.2% lower risk of cognitive decline, particularly in high pollution areas.
According to the research, the humid air surrounding blue spaces may play a role in lessening air pollution, which is linked to age-related cognitive issues.
Enhancements in mood, coupled with the soothing sounds and sights of water, may contribute to stress reduction, further mitigating mental decline among older residents.
