Older people who stay active in a variety of ways seem to have a better chance of warding off dementia, research has found.

The pastimes can range from gardening to aerobics.

*“It's not necessarily the energy you spend,” said Constantine Lyketsos, a Johns Hopkins University epidemiologist and the study's lead author. “It's the variety that matters.”*

The scientists from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, say their study is the first proof that there is a link between using cannabis and accidents.

Previously, there was only laboratory research and post mortem evidence to suggest a connection.
