Memory loss is often seen as a natural part of aging, but new research suggests another factor may be playing an important role. A study from Rutgers Health has found that stress people keep bottled up may be linked to worsening memory over time.
The research focused on older Chinese Americans, a group that has often been underrepresented in studies of brain health and cognitive aging. The findings suggest that emotional strain hidden beneath the surface could have lasting effects on memory, as per a report by Science Daily.
