Life‐Course Behavioral Changes: Impact on Cognitive Performance, Resilience, and Disease Biomarkers in Late‐Life

Findings suggest that improving/maintaining diet into late-life, alone and especially in combination with improved physical and social activity level, increases resilience to neurodegenerative diseases and leads to better cognitive performance in later life. Evidence of greater amygdala volume in those reporting improved social and physical activity provides further support for the beneficial effect of maintaining lifelong positive lifestyle practices on brain health.
