The older we get, the more crucial it is to live a life that’s satisfactory.
This is a time when most people retire. It’s important to enjoy a relaxing and rewarding life after the workforce. But does this sense of satisfaction automatically translate to a sharper mind?
Many seniors are also concerned about their cognitive health. While it’s easy to assume that life satisfaction always boosts this quality of mental clarity, studies suggest this isn’t always the case.
The research referenced above suggests only about half of seniors benefit cognitively from life satisfaction. It also suggests people may change their definition of satisfaction based on circumstances, which can also impact this result.
