Cognitive Aging

Cognitive abilities are the mental abilities that you need from the simplest to the most complex, to perform any task. Those mental abilities include perception, handling of information, memory, and reasoning. When we get older our cognitive skills deteriorate slowly. The normal part of ageing is a certain amount of cognitive decline. However, some people will experience a severe deterioration in cognitive abilities which will lead to dementia. This can make it impossible to cope with ordinary daily tasks. Since we're living longer, we, or anyone close to us, are more likely to suffer from dementia. People vary greatly in the degree to which their brains decline with age, and the rest of their bodies. 'Normal cognitive ageing' is a crude average; it conceals the fact that cognitive change trajectories are more or less successful as humans grow older. Identifying risk factors and mechanisms for individual differences in age-related cognitive decline is one of the biggest challenges facing older people to improve their health. Decline spectrum ranges from normal cognitive ageing to the dementia.
