A new study suggests that watching a lot of television in midlife may correspond with changes in brain structure associated with memory decline and dementia later in life.

Researchers followed about 1,700 adults for more than two decades and found that people who reported watching TV very often had smaller brain regions involved in memory, executive function, and visual processing, along with more signs of small blood vessel damage in the brain.

The findings indicate that what people do while sitting may matter more than how long they sit. The authors suggest that replacing some TV time with more mentally engaging activities may benefit long-term brain health, though more research is needed.
