Familial Longevity Is Marked by Better Cognitive Performance at Middle Age: The Leiden Longevity Study

4 Mar 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Decline in cognitive performance is a highly prevalent health condition in elderly. We studied whether offspring of nonagenarian siblings with a familial history of longevity, perform better on cognitive tests compared to their partners as controls. This is relevant since it could provide insights into determinants underlying decline in cognitive performance. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis within...
