Working a few years beyond retirement could help stave off Alzheimer's disease, according to a new British study published Monday.
Each extra year of work was associated with approximately a six-week delay in the onset of dementia.
The study was published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and was paid for by the Alzheimer's Research Trust and Britain's Medical Research Council.
"The intellectual stimulation that older people gain from the workplace may prevent a decline in mental abilities, thus keeping people above the threshold for dementia for longer," said Simon Lovestone, one of the paper's co-authors, in a press statement
