Working until age 67, as opposed to retiring between 55 and 66 years old, can ward off the type of cognitive decline suffered by people with Alzheimer’s disease, research shows.
We’ve all heard someone say it: they’ve decided to keep working beyond retirement age to “keep their mind sharp.” Now, that widely held notion has some science behind it.
What the study found about cognitive decline The authors didn’t try to pinpoint an optimal retirement age — that would depend heavily on individual circumstances — but their results do suggest that generally speaking, sticking it out until age 67 can ward off the type of cognitive decline suffered by people with Alzheimer’s disease.
That idea is borne out by some of the specific findings of Hale’s team, including that just having a life partner offers some protection against decline. That she has done. Today, Farr juggles church activities with being a court-appointed advocate for foster youth. She’s also taken on the daunting task of presiding over the homeowners’ association of her 488-unit condo complex. As if that weren’t enough, when her brother, Roger, died in 2019, Farr took over managing his boutique research firm part-time.“It just energized me,” Farr says. “It just gave me a lot of energy and a lot of excitement and drive about getting things done.
Irving points to other research that suggests factors such as purpose, connection and lifelong learning are on a par with body-mass index, smoking and exercise as determinants of longevity.
