While not immune to Alzheimer's, they may experience a delay in developing the condition.
也許不能完全免疫,可他們的老年癡呆癥狀會延遲。
Alzheimer’s can strike anyone, but people who are bilingual may develop the condition four to five years later than people who only speak one language, according to findings presented at a 2011 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The study included 450 Alzheimer’s patients, half of whom had been bilingual for most of their lives.
根據在2011年美國科學發展協會會議上提出的發現,任何人都可以得老年癡呆癥,但是會講兩種語言的人,比起只會一種的人,可能會晚4-5年才開始出現癥狀。這項研究包括了450個老年癡呆癥患者,其中一半在他們人生的大多數時期都會講兩種語言。
