age-related cognitive impairment

Age-related cognitive impairment refers to a decline in mental functions, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities, that can occur as people grow older. While it's natural for some cognitive processes to slow down, significant impairment may affect daily life and can be a sign of conditions like mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and overall health play a role in this decline. Engaging in mental activities, staying socially active, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help support cognitive function as we age.
