Cognitive Decline Begins When?????????

I guess when you have passed that 60 year-old mile marker, there is a certain smirkiness that rises from your innards when you hear those "young things" at 45 are about to come face-to-face with science that says, "Quit laughing at us.  You are already there!"  I am fairly certain that it was the big 6-0 that ushered in the catty comments about my forgetfulness or tip-of-the-tongue experiences.  And for all of us who have arrived, we can say the same thing we said at the big 5-0... it doesn't feel any different.
So look at the results of the British Medical Journal, as reported on ABC.  We need to be aware that while dementia cannot be cured, it can be kicked on down the road if not completely avoided...if we do the right things for our body and our brains.
Mental Decline Begins Earlier Than Believed
