People who reach their nineties today show improved mental performance compared to people in the same age group born a decade earlier, according to the results of a study conducted in Denmark and published in The Lancet. A group of researchers led by Professor Kaare Christensen, of the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, used information from the Danish Civil Register System to identify two groups (cohorts). The first cohort consisted of all people born in 1905, who were still living in 1998, aged 92 – 93 years, with 2262 people in this group participating in the study. The second cohort consisted of all people born in 1915, who were still living in 2010, aged 94 – 95 years, with 1584 people in this group participating in the study.
