Study Links Heart-Healthy Lifestyle With Decreased Likelihood Of Dementia

A new study says better heart health in middle age may help reduce a person's risk significantly for dementia later in life. Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute studied 1,449 Finns enrolled in the Finnish Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Dementia study. Adults with 'ideal' results on several cardiovascular health metrics were found to be 86% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than those with lower scores. According to UPI, the metrics considered included smoking history, engagement in physical activity, body weight, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. The findings suggest that maintaining lifelong heart health by not smoking, exercising regularly, and staying slim may reduce dementia risk later in life.

Better Than A Kick In The Check: Social Security Admin Announces 2021 COLA Increase

Americans collecting Social Security will see their benefits increase by 1.3% in 2021. According to Business Insider, the Social Security Administration announced its annual cost-of-living increase on Tuesday, October 13th. In June of 2020, the average retiree received a benefit of $1,514. That means that the average retiree can expect to see an increase of $19.68 per month. The 1.3% adjustment is lower than that of the past several years — adjustments were 2.8% and 1.6% for 2019 and 2020, respectively. It's not much of an increase.
