The article discusses the concept of "superagers," older adults who exhibit memory function comparable to younger adults. It highlights the variability in defining superagers based on age ranges, neuropsychological tests, and longitudinal measures. The study by Powell et al. in International Psychogeriatrics shows that the prevalence of superagers in a sample varies depending on specific criteria, with implications for functional impairment, neuroimaging features, and dementia incidence. The findings suggest that superagers may have lower dementia risk and resilience to Alzheimer's disease, but further research is needed to understand the trajectory of cognitive and brain aging in diverse populations and cultural contexts.
