If you randomly chose 100 70-year-olds and 100 50-year-olds to take a cognitive test, the 50-year-olds would do better. Cognitive decline is not a myth.
Not to mention that there are a fewer 70-year-olds than there are 50-year-olds. That’s about the time deaths start to accelerate. Also not a myth.
Yes, and in addition to cognitive decline, we also experience degradation in sensory functions - smell, hearing, visual acuity + fine motor skills. The medical term for it is, “Getting Old”.
Discussions on extending the retirement age do not appear to be on the ICAO agenda. A warm congratulations to all our recent retireees!
