Age 57. Scored 65.
Hi,
I'm male, 57, using computer's trackpad uninterrupted at home, but I use computers extensively. Scored 65, apparently above average for age. My Mum has advanced A, now age 93, and of course I'm concerned about my future.
But...
'am going to attribute my score to all of that plus a bit of stress. However,I am going to seriously take a look at my lifestyle because it is pretty unhealthy at the moment!!!! I am also going to stay away from this type of research for a while.'
...really concerns me. if I were scoring lowly, and even at my score, I will continue to do everything readily available to chart and track my position, and to learn what I can do to give myself every chance of improvement. It is such oft quoted, and (forgive me for being a little harsh) excuses when faced with valuable information that make me wonder whether A is the result of an attitude.
My mum was always scatterbrained, though considered a practical and normally smart woman. When my dad died, she sat down and watched the world go by, using the excuse of 'it's time I had some relaxation'.
We know that if we don't exercise physically, that our bodies degrade. I wonder why it would be any different for our brain, given that this is also a physical item.
Are most here for reassurance and what seems to be called 'support' - or is this a place for real discovery of answers, and education that might improve our chances?
