Problems with alcohol in middle age doubles risk of memory loss later in life, say U.S. researchers.
Experts examined the medical data of 6.5 thousand men and women born in the 50’s and 60’s, who have a history of alcohol abuse. It turned out that after about two decades of the subjects have any problems with memory.
The researchers believe that this suggests that excessive alcohol consumption may be the cause of mental health disorders in later life. This is a public health issue that needs to be addressed.
Has long been known that alcohol is harmful for the brain, but previously it was not clear how alcohol affects their work in the long run. It is now known that alcohol abuse disrupts memory decades later.
