As individuals age, the brain undergoes various structural and
functional changes that can lead to cognitive decline and
increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Understanding these changes and implementing strategies to
mitigate their impact is crucial for maintaining cognitive
health in the aging population.
While aging is an inevitable process, understanding the
underlying mechanisms of brain aging and neurodegeneration
provides opportunities to implement strategies that promote
cognitive health. Through lifestyle modifications and
proactive health management, individuals can enhance their
quality of life and mitigate the risks associated with an aging
brain.
