Still mentally fit even in old age: The secret of the super-agers
It is normal for our memory to decline as we age. At least that’s true for most people. An exception are so-called superagers. By definition, the memory performance of these seniors is equivalent to that of people 30 years younger. So an 80-year-old super-ager is as mentally fit as an average 50-year-old.
What is her secret? Researchers led by Bryan Strange, professor of clinical neuroscience at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, have been investigating this for several years.
Super-Ager versus Normal-Ager
To do this, they analyze data from 64 super-agers and 55 comparison subjects. Participants complete regular tests that test their memory, motor and verbal skills, undergo brain scans and blood tests, and answer questions about lifestyle and behaviors. The research team has already published a total of two studies, one last year (FOCUS online reported) and one in April of this year.
Differences in brains
In summary, the researchers found that the super-agers had more volume in the brain regions important for memory, especially in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. In addition, connectivity between regions in the front of the brain that are important for cognition was better preserved.

Long Beach, California on the Verge of Declaring Public Health Emergency as Tuberculosis Outbreak Worsens
The Impact of Tuberculosis Outbreaks on Vulnerable Populations
The recent outbreak of tuberculosis in Long Beach, California has highlighted the challenges faced by vulnerable populations in accessing healthcare and the urgent need for targeted interventions. The City Council’s decision to authorize a public health emergency reflects the gravity of the situation and represents an opportunity to address long-standing disparities.
Barriers to Care and High-Risk Factors
The outbreak, which primarily affected individuals residing in a single-room occupancy hotel, underscores the specific obstacles faced by this population. Homelessness, housing insecurity, mental illness, substance use disorders, and serious medical comorbidities create significant barriers to care for those affected.
Among people experiencing homelessness, several risk factors contribute to higher rates of tuberculosis transmission. Crowded living conditions increase the likelihood of spread while substance use weakens immune systems. Additionally, underlying health problems like diabetes, cancer, and HIV make it more difficult for individuals to fight off tuberculosis infections.
“Living in poverty not having good access nutrition not having access sunlight fresh air all these things going make much easier TB spread take advantage vulnerable people.” Dr. Luke Davis—an associate professor of epidemiology and medicine at Yale School Public Health—emphasized how social determinants significantly impact vulnerable populations’ susceptibility.
