(UPI) – Signing up for "food stamps" might help lower-income seniors preserve their mental capabilities, a new U.S. study suggests.
Researchers found that eligible older adults who used the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – commonly called food stamps – had two fewer years of mental decline over a 10-year period than those who could have registered for the program but did not.

"Less than half of the older adults who are eligible for SNAP actually participate," said senior study author Adina Zeki Al Hazzouri, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, in New York City.
