| Annotation | The Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH) is an independent organisation created by AARP in collaboration with Age UK, to provide trusted information on how we can all maintain and improve our brain health. Members of the Council met in Washington, DC on 19th-21st March 2017, to examine the impact of cognitively stimulating activities on brain health for adults age 50 and older. They examined the evidence on whether engaging in cognitively stimulating activities has been shown to: (1) influence people's brains in a positive way; (2) help maintain or improve people's cognition; or (3) help people function better in everyday life. The experts also looked at some of the common myths about ageing brains, and described why they were false. This paper summarises the consensus reached by the experts, and whet led them to their recommendations. It also identifies gaps in our knowledge about these activities and cognition, offers practical tips, provides a glossary of terms used in the document, and lists resources for additional information.
