Are superagers super rare?

Abstract

Cognitive abilities typically decline as people age, yet there is substantial individual variation. Previous research on remarkable older adults sometimes called “superagers” has demonstrated that age-related cognitive decline is not inevitable and that some individuals exhibit memory function that is comparable to younger adults. The term superaging was coined by Mesulam, Rogalski, and colleagues, who defined superagers as individuals over 80 years old whose delayed recall score of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test was at least as good as normative values for 50–65 year olds (Harrison et al., 2012).
