What makes a SuperAger super? It’s not just memory—it’s emotional wellbeing too.

New research led by Dr. Claire Alexander University of Michigan with the SuperAging Research Initiative finds that adults 80+ with exceptional memory also report higher life satisfaction and lower stress, sadness, and anger than the general population. This may mean emotional health plays a key role in how we age—and stay sharp.

What’s one thing many SuperAgers have in common?
They stay social — and they mean it.

Whether it’s volunteering, catching up with friends, mentoring younger generations, or joining a walking group, many of our SuperAgers say that staying connected keeps them feeling sharp and engaged.

Science backs it up: regular social activity is linked to better memory, slower cognitive decline, and even longer life. Learn more about SuperAging on our website: https://haarc.center.uchicago.edu/superaging/
