Abstract in brief
- High frequency of playing computer games is linked to a lower risk of developing dementia, better cognitive performance, and increased gray matter volume in the hippocampus.
- The study used data from over 471,000 UK Biobank participants and found that both observational and genetic analyses support the idea that computer gaming may help protect against dementia.
- These findings suggest that engaging in computer gaming could improve brain health and cognitive functions, making it a potential strategy for dementia prevention.
