Loneliness can cause memory loss, according to the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization has warned that sitting alone without participating in any activity increases the risk of memory loss or dementia.
According to a study by the World Health Organization, studies have found that being socially isolated increases the risk of developing dementia. Dementia is a medical condition that impairs a person’s memory, thinking, progress, understanding, and abilities. People with dementia symptoms find it difficult to cope with activities of daily living.
The American Geriatrics Society published a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Researchers have found that people with habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, and lack of exercise are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Studies have shown that elderly people living in social isolation are more likely to develop dementia.
According to a report by the John Hopkins University School of Medicine, a basic communication system could be used to solve this condition. Communication systems are a great weapon to combat social isolation. The study points out that the use of technologies and better systems are important factors that protect the elderly from social isolation.
