BARI, Italy, May 24 (UPI) -- In people with mild cognitive impairment, up to one drink of alcohol a day may slow their progression to dementia, says an Italian study.
Dr. Vincenzo Solfrizzi and Dr. Francesco Panza of the University of Bari evaluated alcohol consumption and the incidence of mild cognitive impairment in 1,445 people. They then tracked 121 people ages 65 to 84 with mild cognitive impairment and their progression to dementia.
The study, published in the journal Neurology, found people with mild cognitive impairment who had up to one drink of alcohol a day, mostly wine, developed dementia at an 85 percent slower rate than people with mild cognitive impairment who never drank alcohol.
Mild cognitive impairment is a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia that is used to classify people with mild memory or cognitive problems and no significant disability.
