Sauna bathing could be linked to lower risk of dementia in men
A new study from the University of Eastern Finland has found that frequent sauna bathing may be linked with a reduction in the risk of dementia in men. The study looked at of 2,315 apparently healthy men aged 42-60 years who were participating in the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study (KIHD). The men were divided into three different groups based on their sauna-bathing habits: one group for those taking a sauna once a week, one group for 2-3 times a week, and another for those taking a sauna 4-7 times a week.
