Abstract
- When our brains are healthy, we can memorize, pay attention, reason, move, communicate, make decisions, and complete complex tasks. As some people get older, they can no longer do those things—they suffer from cognitive disorders that could indicate the start of dementia. Many factors might play a role in the development of dementia and some of those factors, like age and education level, have been identified. We know that there are additional, unidentified factors that play a role in the development of dementia, and scientists are discovering that where we live also matters. Our living environments include buildings and other structures, green spaces, and the level of air pollution. In this article, we explain the impact of the living environment on brain health decline during aging.
