Description
Gabrielle Pfund and co-authors test whether sense of purpose and mind power feed each other in old age in a 2023 study. Four long United States studies, with tens of thousands of older adults in all, were run through one shared lens. Waves spanned up to eighteen years.
Shifts in purpose came before shifts in mind power, and the trade ran the other way too. Over long spans, the two changed in step. The team reads this as a two-way street: purpose guards the mind, and a fading mind can drain purpose. Boosting purpose may thus aid sound mind aging.
