A Positive Outlook on Aging Linked to Feeling Mentally Sharper, Suggests Study

Summary

Nutrition label

90% Informative

Penn State researchers found that people who had more positive expectations of aging tended to report less frequent cognitive problems, such as difficulty concentrating or keeping track of what they were doing.

They were also less likely to report that their cognitive performance had declined over time.

If we can modify the expectations that older adults have about aging, “we could support healthier cognitive aging”.
