Superagers: older adults with razor-sharp memory show better mental health

A new study published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal suggests that older adults with razor-sharp memories, known as ‘superagers,’ enjoy better mental health and move more quickly than typical older adults. Superagers, in their eighties, have memory abilities comparable to those of people decades younger. They seem to resist the age-related decline in memory that most people experience as they get older.
