These personality traits ruin life not only at a young age, but can also lead to serious illness after 50 years.
Psychologists conducted a large-scale study, during which they identified a number of personality traits that increase the risk of developing dementia.
Experts analyzed data from nearly 45,000 people aged 49 to 81, writes the Mirror .
The experts assessed the participants' behavior, described in detail the character of each of them, and learned how they relate to life and what is happening around them.
As a result, they identified 5 personality traits whose owners were most likely to encounter dementia in old age:
- neuroticism;
- aggressiveness;
- unwillingness to gain any new experience;
- excessive conflict;
- excessive conscientiousness.
And each quality is interconnected. For example, overly conflictual people spend a lot of energy on sorting out relationships.
They simply have neither the strength nor the desire to engage in activities that can keep their cognitive abilities in good shape.
If a person is positive, learns something new easily and enthusiastically, does not conflict or worry about trifles, is sociable, then he has every chance to retain a sound mind and sober memory even at 100 years old. Such people will easily give a head start to 20-year-olds.
