Which of the following lifestyle factors is linked to the prevention of Alzheimer's disease?

  1. Consuming saturated fats

  2. Eating processed foods

  3. Socialization

  4. A sedentary lifestyle

The correct answer is: Socialization

Socialization is linked to the prevention of Alzheimer's disease because strong social connections and regular interaction with others can help maintain cognitive function as we age. Engaging with friends and family, participating in community activities, or even joining clubs can stimulate mental processes, reduce stress, and enhance overall mental health. Studies have shown that people who are socially active tend to have better brain health and a lower risk of cognitive decline compared to those who are more isolated. In contrast, the other lifestyle factors mentioned, such as consuming saturated fats, eating processed foods, and leading a sedentary lifestyle, have been associated with negative health outcomes, including an increased risk of developing cognitive impairments. These factors can contribute to conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation, all of which can negatively impact brain health.
