"The super-agers: Why do some 80-year-olds have incredibly good memory?"

Kristine Walhovd commented on recently published Spanish and American studies regarding the so-called "super-agers". There is strong evidence that those who function well in older age have also functioned well in younger years. The differences observed initially do not disappear. The Norwegian study on super-agers finds that the characteristics related to good memory in older age are the same as when you are young.
