Cognitive Improvement in Healthy Older Adults Can Parallel That of Younger Adults Following Lifestyle Modification: Support for Cognitive Reserve During Aging

Executive function was assayed following a nutritional supplementation in healthy adults using the Trail Making Test. Comparison with published normative scores demonstrated that cohorts from 35–74 years of age displayed similar relative improvement compared to their own baseline performance. These...

Sumario:Executive function was assayed following a nutritional supplementation in healthy adults using the Trail Making Test. Comparison with published normative scores demonstrated that cohorts from 35–74 years of age displayed similar relative improvement compared to their own baseline performance. These findings support early, pro-active lifestyle modifications to maintain cognitive performance during aging and further demonstrate the persistence of cognitive reserve in healthy older adults.
