Why do some people retain sharp minds well into later life, while others donāt? Explore the science of healthy ageing and discover how genetics, biology, and lifestyle combine to shape our long term health. From simple shifts – like picking up your walking pace or nurturing social connections – to deeper insights from cutting edge research, what really makes a difference?
At the heart of this field is the study of so called āsuperagersā: individuals who remain cognitively resilient far beyond what is typical for their age. By examining their lives, researchers are uncovering surprising clues about how we can all support better ageing.
Neuroscientist Emily Rogalski, head of the University of Chicago Healthy Aging & Alzheimerās Research Care (HAARC) Centre and the internationally enrolling SuperAging Research Initiative, reveals the secrets of these superagers and explores what her research tells us about maintaining cognitive health well into old age.
