Utafiti mpya umepata kiungo kati ya matumizi ya kawaida ya mtandao na hatari ya chini ya shida ya akili kati ya watu wazima wazee.<\/p>\n

Kwa hivyo, wazee wanapoomba usaidizi wa kuchapisha ujumbe wa siku ya kuzaliwa kwenye Facebook au Instagram, mjukuu mwenye ujuzi wa teknolojia anaweza kutaka kuunga mkono, kwa kuwa itamaanisha kuimarisha afya ya ubongo ya watu wa zamani, si tu maisha yao ya kijamii.<\/p>\n

Utafiti huo, uliochapishwa katika Jarida la Jumuiya ya Geriatrics ya Amerika<\/a>, ilipendekeza kuwa wazee wanaotumia muda wao mwingi mtandaoni wanaweza kuwa na hatari iliyopunguzwa ya kupata shida ya akili katika siku zijazo.<\/p>\n

Utafiti huo ulihusisha watu wazima 18,154 kati ya umri wa miaka 50 na 65 ambao hawakuwa na shida ya akili. Takriban miaka minane ya data ya ufuatiliaji ilionyesha kuwa watu waliotumia mtandao walikuwa na visa vidogo vya kupata shida ya akili ikilinganishwa na wale ambao walijiepusha na mtandao.<\/p>\n

Watu wazima walichunguzwa kwa matumizi yao ya mtandao na ukuzaji wa shida ya akili kama sehemu ya utafiti huo, ambao ulihusishwa na Chuo Kikuu cha Michigan. hifadhidata ya taaluma nyingi<\/a> inayokaliwa na Taasisi ya Kitaifa ya Kuzeeka na Utawala wa Hifadhi ya Jamii, CNN <\/a>taarifa.<\/p>\n

Watafiti walichunguza zaidi ni mara ngapi walitumia mtandao, kuanzia sifuri hadi zaidi ya saa nane kwa siku, na wakagundua wale wanaotumia mtandao kwa takriban saa mbili au chini ya siku kwa siku walikuwa na hatari ndogo zaidi ya ugonjwa wa shida ya akili ikilinganishwa na wale ambao hawakutumia. Utandawazi.<\/p>\n

Utafiti huo pia uligundua kuwa watu ambao walitumia mtandao kwa saa sita hadi nane walikuwa katika hatari kubwa ya shida ya akili. Walakini, watafiti waliongeza matokeo hayakuwa muhimu kitakwimu.<\/p>\n

"Ushirikiano wa mtandaoni unaweza kusaidia kukuza na kudumisha hifadhi ya utambuzi, ambayo inaweza, kufidia kuzeeka kwa ubongo na kupunguza hatari ya shida ya akili," mwandishi mwenza wa utafiti Dk. Virginia W. Chang aliiambia CNN.<\/p>\n

Utafiti zaidi unahitajika ili kupata hitimisho la kuridhisha, lakini tafiti za awali zimethibitisha kwamba shughuli za utambuzi na uhamasishaji wa kiakili huleta matokeo chanya kwenye ubongo na kupunguza uwezekano wa shida ya akili kadri umri unavyosonga.<\/p>\n
