A study by the Yale School of Public Health revealed that elderly individuals suffering from mild cognitive impairment, who hold a more positive attitude towards aging, have a 30% higher chance of a complete cognitive recovery than those who express pessimistic views. As per the researchers, those with negative views may have reduced the motivation to engage in physically or mentally stimulating activities, which could negatively affect cognitive function over time. This study can help in designing clinical interventions to mitigate the negative impact of ageist attitudes on cognitive health.
