Description
Kallol Kumar Bhattacharyya, Victor Molinari, Yin Liu, and Elizabeth Fauth asked whether caregiving dulls the mind over time in a 2023 study. Care work has been tied to worse body health. The team used a long United States study of midlife adults, with two waves ten years apart, to test memory and thinking skills.
Adults who had given care in the past year scored better on word memory ten years later than those who had not. Their scores on other thinking skills were about the same. Among caregivers, the count of care hours did not track with later scores at all. The authors say the results fit a healthy caregiver view more than a stress wear view.
