Older adult napping and dementia risk

New data from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health flags a serious arc for older adults: frequent daytime napping correlates with increased dementia risk. Unintentional napping specifically carries a 39% higher risk, while naps lasting 30 minutes or less are linked to a 40% higher risk. The findings paint a clear picture of how specific sleep habits in this population connect to health outcomes. #Health
