Working routine job could boost risk of cognitive impairment, dementia, study finds By Lois M. Collins, Deseret News | Posted - April 19, 2024 at 1:42 p.m.

People who have cognitively demanding jobs are much less likely to experience cognitive decline and dementia in their 70s, a study finds.

Officials estimate the VET TEC program will run out of money in July because of its popularity.

Veterinary technician program Director Melissa Best said a lack of vet techs has put a lot of pressure on veterinarians, veterinary professionals and the vet techs themselves.

Jobs that feature repetitive manual work without the option of more challenging mental tasks may raise the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, the new study found.
