Correlates of Cognitive SuperAging in the Mexican Health and Aging Study.
Abstract
Aging is often accompanied by normative cognitive change, with memory decline typically experienced with advanced age. Some older adults reach their 80s maintaining memory performance of people 20 years younger. Little is known about these “SuperAgers” or correlates of SuperAging, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income settings. We evaluate how demographic, psychosocial, and health factors relate to odds of SuperAging in Mexico, an upper middle‐income country experiencing rapid population aging.

Research summary
The paper investigates the correlates of cognitive SuperAging, which is relevant to understanding cognitive resilience in aging populations. However, it primarily focuses on demographic, psychosocial, and health factors rather than addressing the root causes of aging or lifespan extension. While it contributes to the understanding of cognitive aging, its impact is limited as it does not propose solutions or interventions that could significantly advance the field of longevity research.
