[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad had dementia before he died and obsession is common. Can’t let things go. I also wonder if Trump’s propensity to lie has made the dementia worse. [b]It would be interesting to study this. Expanding your mind through reading, writing, learning a language, dancing, etc can really improve your outcome because you’re challenging your mind[/b].

It sounds like Trump watches tv a lot, and that contributed to my dad’s decline. (Though my dad watched westerns and such, not Fox. 😉) Fox’s drilling down on the same thing over and over, is not expanding one’s mind. [/quote]

My father reads voraciously, tries learning languages of countries before visiting them (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German), took classes well into his 80s and played tennis and walked every day well into his 80s. He is now in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, so I am. To sure about your thesis.

That said, Trump is definitely demented[/quote]

DP. Despite your father's experience, multiple studies have shown that "individuals who were more cognitively and physically active were able to delay their clinical Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and cognitive decline." Not prevent necessarily, but delay.

[b]Noticeable cognitive decline is inevitable for 99.9% of human beings by the age of 80 [/b]and for many, cognitive decline is apparent before the age of 80. This is why it is absolutely bat poop crazy for the most powerful country on the planet to have elected people as old as Trump and Biden to four year terms in consecutive elections. Americans should be ashamed of themselves.[/quote]

Please post research that shows this. I've known many people who are extremely sharp in their late 80s and early 90s. My mother was working until she was 96, and she was a psychotherapist. She was brilliant, and her mind never wavered, but her body gave out on her. [/quote]

This is one of the problems with our country.  People take a single personal story (" my mother was sharp until she died") and try to argue that this shows everybody is like their mother.  When will people realize that a single instance of something in means absolutely nothing?  Maybe try thinking about the vast number of over 80 year olds you know.  Surely you know at least 100?  Would you say most of them could do math in their head as fast as they could when they were in their 20s?  If not, yes, there is some "cognitive decline" (and please don't argue that doing math is not cognitive because the OP said "some cognitive decline" not "decline is some specific area you cherrry pick".[/quote]

Since everybody lies and politicized "science" is totally untrustworthy...first hand information from your own eyes and ears is by far the greatest source of truth .[/quote]

and your eyes are telling you that most over 80 year olds are as sharp as they were at 20?  that they have no cognitive decline?  that they learn as fast as they ever did?  really?  maybe then you need cataract surgery.[/quote]
