Per the study, published this week in PLOS Medicine, a healthier lifestyle can significantly lower your risk of cognitive impairment, regardless of whether or not you carry the APOE gene, known to put an individual at an increased risk of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.

It is likely that the immune response could last much longer. The researchers also show that this strong immune memory lasted in all age groups tested, including in people over age 70, a demographic especially vulnerable to severe COVID-19.
