Here’s another good reason not to DoorDash tonight.
“With age comes wisdom,” the old adage goes. However, new scientific research challenges that sentiment—at least for some people.researchers found that members of two indigenous South American communities showed less decline in brain volume as they aged when compared to folks in the U.S. and Europe.
Working with tribal leaders, the study’s authors took CT scans of more than 1,165 Tismane and Moseten people between the ages of 40 and 94 years old. They found that these individuals experienced less of a decrease in brain volume over time than people in the U.S. and Europe, who’s own brain volume shrank much more drastically in old age.
“This discrepancy represents a form of evolutionary mismatch we call an ‘embarrassment of riches’ due to recent changes in diet, activity, and other environmental exposures,” the paper’s authors wrote. “The minimal dementia and coronary artery disease in Tsimane and Moseten, combined with these findings, imply that aging outcomes are optimized at intermediate lifestyle values.”
