Aging and Cognition

Aging and cognition refer to how our mental abilities change as we grow older. While some memory and processing skills may decline gradually, many cognitive functions like knowledge and wisdom often stay stable or improve. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, health, and education influence these changes. Understanding this helps us support healthy aging, emphasizing activities that keep the mind active, like learning and social engagement. Overall, aging is a natural process that varies widely among individuals, and many people maintain sharp thinking well into older age.
