PY - 2007 DA - 2007/12/05 TI - The Lothian Birth Cohort 1936: a study to examine influences on cognitive ageing from age 11 to age 70 and beyond JO - BMC Geriatrics SP - 28 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Cognitive ageing is a major burden for society and a major influence in lowering people's independence and quality of life. It is the most feared aspect of ageing. There are large individual differences in age-related cognitive changes. Seeking the determinants of cognitive ageing is a research priority. A limitation of many studies is the lack of a sufficiently long period between cognitive assessments to examine determinants. Here, the aim is to examine influences on cognitive ageing between childhood and old age. SN - 1471-2318 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2318-7-28 DO - 10.1186/1471-2318-7-28 ID - Deary2007 ER -
