flag Multilingualism linked to slower brain ageing and lower cognitive decline risk in large European study.

flag A large European study of over 86,000 adults finds that speaking multiple languages is linked to slower biological ageing and reduced risk of cognitive decline. flag Multilingual individuals showed significantly lower rates of accelerated brain ageing compared to monolinguals, with greater benefits seen the more languages one speaks. flag The protective effect remained after adjusting for education, lifestyle, and social factors, suggesting active language use strengthens brain networks involved in attention, memory, and emotion. flag Researchers say the findings support integrating language learning into public health strategies to promote cognitive resilience across the lifespan.
