A recent study has revealed that individuals who have a positive attitude towards ageing tend to recover better after experiencing a fall.
-
Researchers from Imperial College London and Coventry University analysed data from 694 adults aged between 60 and 90 and reviewed information related to falls, as well as survey responses that reflected participants' attitudes and beliefs about ageing.
They also looked at key recovery indicators after a fall, including walking speed, levels of physical activity, and whether individuals required assistance with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, or getting out of bed.
Research shows that those with a positive outlook on ageing showed slower cognitive decline and better memory performance
