The study funded by the National Institute on Aging and published in Alzheimer's & Dementia Journal, states that brain function among seniors has improved when comparing data from 1993 and 2002. The study suggests that more people who are living longer are functioning at a better cognitive level. The study compared the results of 7,000 people over the age of 69 in 1993 to the same number of participants in 2002, according to the newspaper.
