Yeah, I think playing mahjong is a good mindsport, just treat it as a game and not gamble. Unfortunately, my mum was determined not to learn how to play no matter how willing I was to teach her. Haiz...
My parents with my father is around 90 are not affected by Dementia yet instead they even have a much better memory than me because they play mahjong everyday.[/quote] -

No - I've resisted Wordle! Maybe later, but I've enough on my plate for now!

I always remember what someone related to me - a conversation she had with a low wage elderly (I think she's a cleaner). She was lamenting that everyone around her has left, except her and she has to keep working to keep herself alive....think she was in her 70s
My grandmother's experience: first her husband died, then her remaining friends died, and she was the last one left in her generation. Her grandkids grew up, and she forgot who they were (because of dementia). She had several great-grandkids by the time she died, but she never knew that they were hers. -

It doesnt take up a lot of time, but professional wordsmiths might find it too easy. I had a go once or twice but lost interest after a while. It’s a bit like Mastermind but with letters instead of colours.

My husband is playing both Wordle and Word-leh (the Singlish version). One daughter is playing Wordle. The other daughter isn't interested. I'm just not a very \"game\" person.

For a moment, I thought so unlike you to use 'leh'

The key point is keep our self n minds active
As for dementia, I foresee myself working or at least ksp ing in my 60s. So far no dementia history in family but I m a forgetful person so there may be risk.
But stroke can cause dementia too, our late aunt suffered this. So does not mean that active mind or play mahjong keep dementia away. It’s still abt keeping cholesterol , bp in healthy range
Dementia people has good memory of the long deep past , but cannot remember things that just happen a while ago. My mil plays 4d Diligently, insist to cook almost daily meals for family , in her 80s - this keep her mind n mental math good … hahaha , sometimes a bit “ 4d gila” -

Keep reasonable sum to buy reasonable medical insurance . Now medishield is life time , buy gov hospital plan not ex . If too old to treat then no need to suffer , just aged naturally
Dementia is getting more common in the elderies. I let my 80+ years old do worksheets meant for kids
These worksheets include simple math sums, join the dots, trace the lines, number pattern, colouring, word search etc.
I am unsure if he has dementia. As he grows older, he behaves like a kid. At times, he would enjoy doing worksheets. Other times, he would do less. I told him to do a few pages per day to keep his mind alert.
Back to retirement, nobody knows if dementia or even cancer would strike when old. This is the period we need money the most bec all the existing medical benefits from office are gone when retired.
But saw my late granny cancer is mid 80s , v pain n sad . … i feel until mid to late 70s , is just nice
