The British Journal of Medical Research ‘Plos Medicine’ has published several amazing facts about it.
According to them, in Britain, people in the age group of 50 to 60 who live like an island are largely found to be absent minded. Quarantined existence is the root-cause.

Their subjects varied from 35 – year – old youngsters to nearly 55 – year – old elders in society. They regularly monitored their physical and mental health.
