People who see the world around them in a negative light appear to be at increased risk of cognitive decline in later life.
Cynical people who distrust others are three times more likely to develop dementia than those who have more faith in humanity, a study has shown for the first time.
Believing that others are motivated by selfishness, or lie to get what they want, appears to radically increase the risk of cognitive decline in later life.
It could mean that grumpy older men and women should be screened more carefully for diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.
Cynicism has previously been linked to other health problems such as heart disease but this is the first time it has been associated with dementia.
