Intelligence in old age
Abstract
The human intellect is a gift of many thousands of years of evolution of the species Homo sapiens and 15−30 years of personal desire, education, upbringing, will power, and labor. After the age of 30−40 years, involution of intelligence begins with great interindividual differences in the speed and depth of the developing process depending on heredity, worldview, education, self-discipline, and features of work and life. A significant involution of the intellect reduces the quality of life of an individual and becomes a heavy burden for the family, society and state. The article describes some methods for maintaining intelligence in old age.
