Exploring variability in daily health‐related behaviors as a feature of exceptional cognitive aging in people 80+ years of age: Early findings from the SuperAging Research Initiative
Objective capture of health-related behaviours in 80+ year olds has been rare but is important, highlighted by the variability observed among study participants. While results should be interpreted cautiously, volumetric measures of behavior do not appear to differentiate SuperAgers from Controls. This underscores the necessity for further investigation into the structure and relationship of behavioural patterns using more advanced measures of variability (e.g. ApEN, LZC, Gini index), which are underway for this unique dataset.
