Summary:
In a study in Am. J. Epidemiology, the more participants reported unhealthy behaviors, the greater their risk of cognitive deficit
Over 17 years, those with the most unhealthy behaviors were 3 times more likely to show poor thinking skills and 2 times more likely to have declining memory than those with the least such behaviors
Unhealthy behaviors included smoking, lack of physical activity, and not eating enough fruit and vegetables
Conclusion: Unhealthy behaviors are linked to cognitive decline
