Researchers at Yale School of Public Health have found that adopting a positive attitude could help avoid or even reverse age-related memory loss and restore cognitive function. People who believe that "60 is the new 40" and "growing up" instead of "aging" are more likely to ward off mild cognitive impairment than those who become grumpier as they age. This finding is supported by the examples of David Attenborough and Helen Mirren, who credit their clear-mindedness to focus, curiosity, and wisdom gained from aging.
A new study from Yale has found that older people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were 30 percent more likely to regain normal cognition if they had a positive attitude towards aging. The study is the first of its kind to link a cultural factor, a positive attitude towards aging, to MCI recovery. The research was based on 1,716 participants over age 65. Those who started the study with normal cognition and a happy attitude toward aging were less likely to develop MCI over the next 12 years than those in the negative-thinking group, regardless of physical health or the age they joined the cohort.
