The MetLife Study of Decision-Making Potential, one of the first to investigate the connection
between specific components of cognitive health and the continued
ability to make logically consistent decisions, identified factors that may inhibit or increase the risk of poor
decisions in the 50 to 79 age group.
Researchers concluded that combining
the present findings with emerging evidence of retained cognitive brain
health in aging suggests that policies aimed at protecting those most
vulnerable to poor decision-making should focus on disease, rather than
age itself, as a risk factor.
Studies like this continue to contradict the perception that society has of aging. Just because we age does not necessarily mean we’re “losing it.” My mom at 91 is sharp as a tack, able to figure things out on her own, and hold an intelligent conversation with the best of them. So don’t be so quick to judge!
