Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2010). Risk factors for cognitive decline still murky.
     Research Activities 362, 12.

     This article is the main points and summary of an original article that was in Annals of Internal   Medicine by the NIH Conference. It talks about how many tests and much research has been done testing many risk factors for cognitive decline, and there has not been any significant correlation between any of the risk factors tested. Also, there was testing done on possible interventions to improve or slow the progression of cognitive decline, with the same results as the testing of the risk factors. I feel that this article is very well written and gets to the point quickly, which means that you can get the important information out of the article promptly. Finally, this would be a good article if you are doing or contemplating the idea of doing an article on the risk factors of cognitive decline; by reading this article, you would find out quickly that there has already been a lot of research on this topic and there isn't a correlation between any risk factors and cognitive decline.
