Cognitive Functioning among African American Older Adults
It has been well documented that certain cognitive abilities decline as a function of the aging process, including episodic memory, processing speed, and inhibitory control. The rate at which espisodic memory and speed of processing change as a function of age is dependent upon a number of variables including health, education, and occupational complexity (Avolio & Waldman, 1994; Cagney & Laude...

Rowe and Kahn (1987) proposed that successful aging is the balance of three components: absence of disease and disease-related disability, high functional capacity, and active engagement with life. This study examines the relationship between physical activity involvement and successful aging in Canadian older adults using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey, cycle 2.1 (N = 12,042). ...
متن کاملDNA methylation and cognitive functioning in healthy older adults.
Long-term supplementation with folic acid may improve cognitive performance in older individuals. The relationship between folate status and cognitive performance might be mediated by changes in methylation capacity, as methylation reactions are important for normal functioning of the brain. Although aberrant DNA methylation has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders, the relationship ...
متن کاملCongestive heart failure and cognitive functioning amongst older adults.
