随着人类年龄的增长，他们的大脑和中枢神经系统（CNS）发生的各种变化也越来越多，这些变化越来越影响他们的思维效率。“认知老化”模型区分了这些中枢神经系统变化的两种可能的病因：“正常”或“通常”的变化，最终发生在所有人身上，其速度取决于遗传和环境因素，以及一生中病理和生物学上重大事故的积累，以及老年时病理数量和严重程度的加速增长。本文比较了老年人认知表现差异的相对比例，这些差异与他们目前的出生年龄、离死亡的距离、死亡的具体原因和他们自我报告的健康状况、他们所患的不同临床病症的数量、他们最近和长期使用医疗保健的情况以及他们与…
As human age increases so does the incidence of a variety of changes in their brains and central nervous systems (CNS) which, increasingly, affect their mental efficiency. Models for “cognitive ageing” have distinguished between two possible aetiologies for these CNS changes: “normal” or “usual” changes that, eventually, occur in all humans, at rates determined by both genetic and environmental factors and the accumulation, over a lifetime, of pathologies and biologically significant accidents coupled with an accelerating increase in the numbers and severity of pathologies in old age. This paper compares the relative proportions of variance in cognitive performance within an elderly population that are associated with their current ages from birth, their distances from death, the specific causes of their deaths and their self-reports of their health status, of the number of different clinical conditions from which they suffer and their recent and long-term use of medical care and of their difficulties wit...
