The Key Trait That Helps SuperAgers Live Longer
TL;DR Summary
SuperAgers, individuals over 80 with memory skills comparable to much younger people, tend to live longer and healthier lives, primarily due to their strong social connections and extroverted personalities. These social habits help slow brain aging and reduce risks of diseases like dementia, which is especially significant for Black communities that face higher risks of Alzheimer's. Maintaining social interactions and a positive outlook may be key factors in their longevity and cognitive resilience.
