Abstract

Superagers, older adults with exceptional cognitive abilities, show preserved brain structure compared to typical older adults. We investigated whether superagers have biologically younger brains based on their structural integrity.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

Superagers exhibit biologically younger brains with preserved structural integrity compared to typical older adults. This study is relevant as it explores the mechanisms behind cognitive resilience and brain aging, contributing to our understanding of longevity and potential interventions for age-related cognitive decline.
