Cognitive decline

What is cognitive decline?

Cognitive decline refers to a gradual worsening of mental functions like memory, reasoning, attention, language, etc. It is a normal part of aging. However, some people experience it earlier or more severely than others.

Some key signs of cognitive decline are:

• Forgetting recent events or conversations


• Taking longer to complete familiar tasks


• Having trouble finding the right words


• Getting confused about places and directions


• Struggling with complex concepts and abstract thinking

Mild cognitive impairment may be a transition stage between normal aging and dementia. Many underlying issues can accelerate cognitive decline, including:

• Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's


• Vascular factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol


• Traumatic brain injuries


• Heavy alcohol consumption


• Side effects of medications

Luckily, adopting a brain-healthy lifestyle can help slow age-related cognitive decline. Tips include:

• Eating a Mediterranean-style diet high in fruits, vegetables, fish, and healthy fats


• Exercising regularly - both aerobic and strength training


• Challenging your mind with puzzles, strategy games, learning new skills, etc.


• Getting quality sleep and managing stress


• Staying socially engaged and nurturing relationships
