"It's a change in cognition... the mental speed of 75 plus year olds was on average the same speed of 10 year olds. So these changes over time after the age of 60 are noticeable," @jasonkarlawish breaks down a study that found mental speed remains constant until age 60.

The @PennFTDCenter Book Club is reading The Problem of Alzheimer’s by @jasonkarlawish, and most of my breath during our first meeting was spent proselytizing the value of social workers in dementia care. So glad to see their importance reflected in the book.
