Description
Melanie Johnson, Claire Growney, and David Salmon ask whether strong social ties protect mood and well-being in older adults whose memory is failing. Their 2024 paper draws on the ARMADA study, which tests aging and memory measures across varied groups of older adults.
The sample covered healthy younger and older adults, people with mild memory loss, and people with Alzheimer's disease. All took standard tests of social support and daily well-being. Better social ties went with better scores on every mood measure. The link was even stronger for the Alzheimer's group than for the youngest healthy group. The authors say close ties may help people with the disease hold on to a better daily life.
