Description
Some people past eighty keep the memory of someone decades younger, and their grip strength may set them apart. Dwaiti Roy, Monisha S, and Thomas Gregor Issac study such superagers in India in a 2025 paper. Data came from a long-running aging cohort in Tata. Sixty-five people in their eighties were screened with memory and thinking tests. Fourteen met the Northwestern bar for superager status.
Grip strength was measured with a hand device for all. The study compares grip patterns between the superagers and typical peers. Earlier work ties weak grip to frailty and later thinking decline. The authors aim to learn what keeps this group strong. Findings may guide quality-of-life care for the oldest adults.
