90 PLUS STUDY
Since 1990, takes place in Laguna Woods, LA University of Southern California), the 90 + Study (involving more than 14,000 people 65 and over and 1000 of 90 and over). Hence, researchers study their genes, their memories and mental activities, post-mortem brain analysis, etc. Deserve special interest concentration and memory, studying the performance of each player in games of bridge. Anyone who does not have a good memory, is a candidate to develop dementia. It is easy to identify here brilliant brains. Claudia Kawas, a neurologist at the University of California, Irvine, said it was important to develop all possible mental and social potential. People who spend 3 or more hours on mental activities, have a reduced risk of developing dementia.
For now we know that 40% of men over 95 years are at risk of developing dementia and that some older men can have simultaneously a lucid brain and carry stigma of Alzheimer's disease. Individual performances during a game of bridge aid, because the game requires strong memory and great concentration. Any player must carefully follow the game and remember each letter and its meaning. In absence of these characteristics the player lost and also their social connections (they don’t trust on him). Although some good players play by instinct while they are losing, others aware of their disabilities leave the game and sometimes die in the coming weeks. To keep fit they must read books, play cards, chess, etc.. In isolation, a player becomes disoriented.

ESTUDIO 90 y MAS
Desde 1990, se desarrolla en Laguna Woods, LA (University of Southern California), el 90 Plus Study (que involucra a más de 14,000 personas de 65 y + y más de 1,000 de 90 y +). Ahí, les realizan estudios genéticos, de sus memorias y actividades mentales, análisis cerebrales post-mortem,etc. Especial interés merecen concentración y memoria, estudiándose la performance de cada jugador en partidas de bridge. El que no tiene buena memoria, es candidato a desarrollar demencia. Acá, se reconocen los cerebros lúcidos. Claudia Kawas, neurólogo del University of California, Irvine, dice que es importante desarrollar todas las actividades mentales posibles y también las sociales. Las personas que dedican 3 y más horas a actividades mentales, tienen un riesgo reducido de desarrollar demencia.
De momento se sabe que el 40% de varones de más 95 años hacen demencia y que pueden existir ancianos lúcidos portando estigmas de Enfermedad de Alzheimer. Las performances individuales durante un juego de bridge ayudan, porque el juego requiere una memoria fuerte y gran concentración. Hay que seguir cuidadosamente la partida y recordar cada carta y su significado. En ausencia de estas caracteristicas pierde el jugador y también sus conexiones sociales (ya no confian en él). Aunque algunos buenos jugadores juegan por instinto a medida que van perdiendo la memoria –otros- conscientes de sus incapacidades se retiran del juego y a veces mueren en las siguientes semanas. Para mantenerse en forma hay que leer libros, jugar cartas, ajedrez, etc. En aislamiento, un jugador se torna desorientado.
