Data compiled from 15 international studies, including responses from more than 10,000 people, found that drinkers, not teetotallers, are better off when it comes to developing dementia.
Light and moderate drinkers aged 60 and older, were almost 30 per cent less likely to have Alzheimer's later on in life, the data found. They were also 25 per cent less likely to contract vascular dementia and 26 per cent less likely to suffer from any form of dementia.
The report, Alcohol Consumption as a Risk Factor for Dementia and Cognitive Decline, was published in the July edition of the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
