A number of studies suggest a number of positive effects as a result of positive social relations. In contrast, however, personal relationships that cause stress, problems or concerns, may contribute to a decline in cognitive abilities in old age.

Jing Liao, University College London (UK), and colleagues analyzed data on 5873 British civil servants enrolled in the Whitehall II, aged 45-69 years at their first cognitive assessment, which were followed for a period of ten years.

Through some tests were evaluated verbal memory and fluency. The subjects were also interviewed regarding their own intimate relationships. The researchers found that those who reported more negative aspects in personal relationships tended to have a faster cognitive aging. The study authors conclude that: "This study highlights the importance of social relationships and their associations with cognitive aging."
