On August 20, Professor Henne Holstege was a guest on the NPO Radio 1 talk show De Rode Draad. She spoke about a remarkable group of people: cognitively healthy centenarians. What sets them apart from others, and why is it particularly interesting to visit and study these individuals?
The chances of reaching the age of 100 without cognitive impairment are small. This is precisely why cognitively healthy centenarians are so valuable to scientific research. Why do some people remain cognitively healthy into very old age, while others experience cognitive decline at a much younger age? And what role do factors such as lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and other protective factors play? Henne Holstege discusses these questions in her interview on De Rode Draad.
