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 natural part of aging. However, some people experience cognitive decline earlier or more severely than expected.

Signs of cognitive decline include:

• Forgetting recent events or conversations


• Struggling to retain new information


• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions


• Taking longer to do routine tasks


• Confusion about time, place, or people's identities

Cognitive decline ranges from mild forgetfulness to dementia disorders like Alzheimer's disease. In the early stages, symptoms may be subtle, but they worsen over years.

What Causes Cognitive Decline?

• Aging - Our brain and cognition naturally decline with age to some degree. As we get older, nerve cells die and connections between cells weaken.


• Genetics - Many dementia diseases have genetic links. Certain genes raise your risk.


• Lifestyle - Poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, heavy drinking, etc. up your risk.


• Diseases - Diabetes, depression, hypertension, etc. can accelerate decline.


• Head trauma - Severe hits to the head may increase decline risk.

Can It Be Prevented or Delayed?

Research shows we can lower our risk of cognitive decline by:

• Eating a healthy diet high in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3s


• Exercising regularly - both body and brain!


• Managing health conditions like diabetes or high BP


• Staying socially and mentally active
