Senior Crosswords: Engaging Activities to Support Cognitive Health
Crossword puzzles for seniors are both enjoyable and beneficial. They challenge the brain and engage the mind in ways that support cognitive health.
An 18-month study of people between ages 62 and 80, published by NEJM Evidence, found that playing web-based interactive senior crossword puzzles could actually improve cognition and result in less brain shrinkage in those who already had mild cognitive impairment.
The study indicates that doing a crossword puzzle digitally may have even greater cognitive benefits than doing them on paper.
Brain shrinkage is normal as we age; however, the group in the study that worked on interactive, online crossword puzzles experienced “between 0.5% and 1% less shrinkage in both the hippocampus and the cortex over the course of the 18-month study,” which Harvard Health described as an “impressive difference.”
