Abstract

Current CDC statistics show that one in eight adults aged 60 and older experience frequent confusion or memory loss. Cognitive decline significantly affects older adults' ability to live independently, leading to considerable financial, medical, and social costs. Preserving cognitive function not only reduces these burdens but also enhances quality of life, allowing older adults to maintain relationships, perform daily tasks, and contribute their knowledge to society. To address this issue, Healthy People 2020's Community Preventive Services Task Force aims to combat physical and cognitive decline in older adults by encouraging leisure-time physical activities, which are vital for cognitive health.
