A healthy sex life in old age may help keep the brain healthy as well, though this connection may not work the same way for both sexes, a U.K. study suggests.

After adjusting for other factors that might explain the link between brain function and sexual habits "age, relationship status, living arrangements, education, wealth, exercise routines, depression, loneliness and quality of life" older men's sexual activity levels were still tied to how well they did on both word-recall and number sequencing tests, the study found.
