Abstract

Cognitive impairment is increasingly becoming a public health agenda. Lifestyle factors that can be modified to optimize cognitive ability thus become increasingly important in maintaining an active life in old age. The number of dual-income families is increasing, so grandparents are frequently called upon for childcare. The social distancing measures applied due to the COVID-19 global pandemic mean that some older adults have had to reduce social contact with their family members, including their grandchildren. Whilst emerging evidence suggested that social engagement possibly delays the onset of cognitive decline. There is relatively limited data on the association of grandparent childcare and cognition function preservation.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
