Program and Policy Implications
Cognitive Aging: Imaging, Emotion, and Memory
Older adults commonly worry about losing their memory and other mental faculties. However, while aging is inevitable, severe cognitive decline is not a given. Fewer than one in five people over age 65 experiences moderate to severe memory impairment. Among those 85 and older, the share is higher, but still less than half. About one-third suffer from moderate to severe memory impairment.
