Exploring Memory Trajectories in Aging: A Longitudinal Study of Superagers and Memory Maintenance
Superager status benefited memory level and memory change while maintainer status benefited memory change and memory level at follow-up only. Superagers can be further categorized into superager maintainers, who exhibit a more positive relationship between memory and age than superager decliners. Similarly, non-superager maintainers show a more positive relationship between memory and age than non-superager decliners. These findings underscore the complexity of cognitive aging trajectories, indicating superager status may offer insights into longitudinal patterns, though additional subgroups further clarify these relationships.
