Psychosocial workplace factors may affect your dementia risk
A study report, Psychosocial work factors and dementia, published in Occupational and Environmental Medicine (BMJ Publishing Group Ltd), looks closely for any association between specific psychosocial work factors and dementia.It is suggested that perhaps a work record composed of cerebrally challenging work with high control possibilities and social demands might prevent or impede the development of dementia, or alternatively, preclinical symptoms of dementia might influence the career decades before the dementia becomes manifest.
