Researchers in New York followed hundreds of people in their late 70s and 80s to see which pastimes went with a sharper old age. Among the physical activities, one stood alone, and it wasn't walking.

The Bronx Aging Study, run from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, enrolled 469 people over 75 who had no dementia at the start. Each reported how often they did a long list of leisure activities. Over a median of about five years, 124 developed dementia. Joe Verghese and colleagues published the analysis in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2003.

Overall physical activity showed no link with dementia risk. The team checked walking, swimming, cycling, group exercise, climbing stairs and housework one by one, and none reached statistical significance.

Dancing was the exception. People who danced several times a week had about a quarter of the dementia risk of those who rarely danced. That was after adjusting for age, s*x, education, chronic illness, baseline thinking scores and the other activities people did.

A few brain hobbies stood out too. Frequent board game players showed a similar drop, as did people who played a musical instrument.

A poetic journey from Canada to Senegal, bringing the many stories of water to life through puppetry, storytelling and live music.

Every drop of water tells a story.

Mamby and Hélène are two friends living worlds apart—one in Senegal and the other in Canada. One feels hot sand beneath her feet, while the other bundles up against snow and ice. One lives surrounded by water; the other must search for it and carry it home in buckets.

Blending puppetry, object theatre, storytelling and live music, Water Words travels from the Sahel region of West Africa to North America to explore the many ways water shapes our lives. Spring water, well water, salt water, rainwater, snow and ice become characters in a visually imaginative story about abundance, scarcity and our shared responsibility for this precious resource.

Created through a collaboration between Québec’s Théâtre Motus and Senegal’s Djarama, Water Words offers families a beautiful and thought-provoking encounter between cultures—and an invitation to see something familiar in an entirely new way.

Running time: approximately 50 minutes.
