'brain decline' may begin at age 27

article submitted by computermexican .

mental powers start to dwindle at 27 after peaking at 22, marking the start of old age, us research suggests.

professor timothy salthouse of the university of virginia found reasoning, spatial visualisation and speed of thought all decline in our late 20s.

therapies designed to stall or reverse the aging process may need to start much earlier, he said.

his seven-year study of 2,000 healthy people aged 18-60 is published in the journal neurobiology of aging.

to test mental agility, the study participants had to solve puzzles, recall words and story details and spot patterns in letters and symbols.

the same tests are already used by doctors to spot signs of dementia.

in nine out of 12 tests the average age at which the top performance was achieved was 22.

the first age at which there was any marked decline was at 27 in tests of brain speed, reasoning and visual puzzle-solving ability.

things like memory stayed intact until the age of 37, on average, while abilities based on accumulated knowledge, such as performance on tests of vocabulary or general information, increased until the age of 60.

professor salthouse said his findings suggested "some aspects of age-related cognitive decline begin in healthy, educated adults when they are in their 20s and 30s."

rebecca wood of the alzheimer's research trust agreed, saying: "this research suggests that the natural decline of some of our mental abilities as we age starts much earlier than some of us might expect - in our 20s and 30s.

"understanding more about how healthy brains decline could help us understand what goes wrong in serious diseases like alzheimer's.

"alzheimer's is not a natural part of getting old; it is a physical disease that kills brain cells, affecting tens of thousands of under 65s too.

"much more research is urgently needed if we are to offer hope to the 700,000 people in the uk who live with dementia, a currently incurable condition."

rooster in his declining years

an old farmer decided it was time to get a new rooster for his hens. the current rooster was still doing an okay job, but he was getting on in years and the farmer figured getting a new rooster couldn't hurt. so he buys a new cock from the local rooster emporium, and turns him loose in the barnyard.

well, the old rooster sees the young one strutting around and he's a little worried about being replaced. he walks up to the new bird. "so you're the new stud in town? i bet you really think you're hot stuff don't you? well i'm not ready for the chopping block yet. i'll bet i'm still the better bird. and to prove it, i challenge you to a race around that hen house over there.

we'll run around it ten times and whoever finishes first gets to have all the hens for himself." well, the young rooster was a proud sort, and he definitely thought he was more than a match for the old guy. "you're on," he said, "and since i'm so great, i'll even give you a head start of half a lap. i'll still win easy!" so the two roosters go over to the henhouse to start the race with all the hens gathering to watch.

the race begins and all the hens start cheering the old rooster on. after the first lap, the old rooster is still maintaining his lead. after the second lap, the old guy's lead has slipped a little -- but he's still hanging in there. unfortunately, the old rooster's lead continues to slip each time around, and by the fifth lap he's just barely in front of the young fella.

by now the farmer has heard the commotion. he runs into the house, gets his shotgun and runs into the barnyard figuring a fox or something is after his chickens. when he gets there, he sees the two roosters running around the henhouse, with the old rooster still slightly in the lead.

he immediately takes his shotgun, aims, fires, and blows the young rooster away. "damn. that's the third gay rooster i've bought this month."

bush declines hardware store job

george w bush has paid a jokey visit to a hardware store in dallas, texas, which offered him a job as a greeter.

the former us president entered the elliott's outlet with his security detail saying "i'm looking for a job", store manager andrea bond said.

the owner of the texas chain made the offer earlier this month in a letter published in a dallas newspaper.

but despite not yet having a publisher for his memoirs, mr bush decided on reflection to turn the job down.

equipped with a name tag reading "w", mr bush spent an hour there with his secret service security detail, chatting to customers and doing a little shopping.

described as part-time, the job would have left mr bush time to work on his presidential library and write about his two terms at the white house.

"we're confident that your experience working in your own family business, as well as your people skills developed throughout years of meeting with foreign dignitaries would make you an excellent candidate for the position," read the job offer, signed by kyle walters, president and ceo of elliott's hardware.

"furthermore, like you, many of our greeters are retired from the corporate world, so we're sure you'll have no trouble making new friends."

the employment package also offered parking for his security detail and an employee discount.

"we think you'll find working with us much less stressful than your last job," the offer continued.

mr bush and his wife laura moved into their new home in an expensive area of dallas on friday. they have kept their ranch at crawford, texas.
