This is amazing.

An 'Over-Ager' is someone who is over 80 years old, with a razor-sharp mind and  episodic memory. These make up about 5% of the elderly. When tested, some of them are more capable than the average person of 50 or 60 years old.

Another important identifier is that they are very sociable and friendly and enjoy life.
This last bit of info is really stunning: After death, post-mortems of their brains shows in a percentage of them that their brains show symptom associated with Alzheimer's disease, yet they did not suffer any loss of memory while alive.
Another strange fact, if you take into account how we are continually warned, over 70% of them smoke and drink.

Anecdotal Comment:
I bet specialists who get impatient with patients who question them, must hate seeing articles like this one - it is good that they are humbled now and then. For as long as they think they know everything about our bodies, they cannot learn and grow even more effective, can they?
