How Positive Attitude Affects Aging in Seniors
A recent study, titled Just as Expected? Older Adults' Aging Expectations are Associated with Subjective Cognition, explores the relationship between positive expectations about aging and cognitive health in older adults.
Researchers found that seniors who maintain positive expectations about their physical health, mental well-being, and cognitive function tend to experience better self-perceived cognitive abilities and lower subjective cognitive decline (SCD). This association suggests that a positive outlook can contribute to a healthier aging experience.
