Scientists at the University of Wisconsin (USA) have determined that women who drink two to three cups of drink a day are 30% less likely to develop dementia than those who do not drink coffee, writes Today.

Physicians for 10 years tracked the medical indicators of 6.5 thousand women with an average age of 65 years. Statistics were recorded, how many caffeine the volunteers use every day, other indicators were also monitored - age, educational level, body mass index, sleep quality and others. The researchers found that, on average, women consumed 261 mg of caffeine per day (approximately two to three cups of coffee with a capacity of 230 ml, or five to six cups of tea), according to the Internet publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35 Pannochka. net 388 women developed dementia or other cognitive impairments in 10 years. However, those who used coffee less often or did not drink this drink, dementia developed by 36% more often. At the same time, the authors of the study considered it necessary to note that the discovery of the relationship "coffee - the risk of developing dementia in women" does not mean that caffeine prevents the onset of the disease.

Dementia is a proverbial disease of the brain, which leads to memory impairment (slamoemia). In addition, patients are changing activity in everyday life: they can not perform the usual self-care activities, lose the years of acquired skills: dressing, personal hygiene. A person suffering from dementia ceases to orient in space, is unable to make correct judgments, becomes desocialized. As a result, the disease leads to complete dependence of the patient on others.
