Tutoring Students Might Lower Dementia Risk in Older Americans

Retired Americans seeking useful ways to spend their time find that tutoring children not only helps the students, but may also reduce their own risk of developing dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease.
Chaniya Anderson is a second grader at Whittier Elementary School in Washington, D.C.
She is a little behind in math and reading so she gets one-on-one tutoring twice a week from 62-year-old volunteer Shirley Mickel, a retired federal government employment discrimination investigator.
"I really love it. It gives me an opportunity to give back." says Mickel.
"Also, it helps me to stay alert and stay involved with children."
Recent research at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland indicates that the volunteers like Mickel do benefit from their efforts.
Exercising your brain to help problem solving and to help children read may actually be improving the areas of brain such as frontal lobes," says Michelle Carlson, associate director of the Center on Aging and Health at Johns Hopkins.
"And, by improving this parts of brain, we may be reducing the risk of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease the most common form of dementia"
Carson says that older adults are growing in numbers around the world, and there are mutual benefits to pairing them with children who need help.
