"85% of Americans aged 40-90 say they are not old yet." AARP
This study of over 1800 people also revealed that most people over age 50 think they are not like most people over 50. The study also reveals that the older people get the less hampered they feel by their bodies, which is odd since aging does take a toll on the physical body. So, how do you feel about getting old? I just read about one way to determine fitness: getting up from sitting flat on the floor without using hands or knees or any body part. That is quite a fitness test as one grows older, but it is always worth striving for physical mobility and fitness.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
