People who speak two languages may be able to ward off dementia for years, regardless of whether they have the ability to read or not, according to a study Wednesday.

The researchers looked at a population of 648 people in India. All had been diagnosed with some form of dementia. Their average age was 66.
When analysing the data, they found that those who spoke two languages developed dementia about four and a half years later than those who spoke just one language.
