A drink a day appears to protect elderly women from cognitive decline, according to new data from the ongoing Nurses' Health Study.

During a 2-year follow-up study, interviewers administered four cognitive tests to more than 11,000 women aged 70-81 years, said Meir Stampfer, M.D., of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, and colleagues. They found that moderate drinkers (about one drink/day) had a 20% lower risk of cognitive decline than either nondrinkers or those who drank two or more drinks/day. Both wine and beer were associated with the protective effect (N. Engl. J. Med. 2005;3:245-53).
