A lot of it can probably be traced to inactivity. Previously, old people lived with their children until their death and participated in family responsibilities as they were able.
However, in our age where the generations no longer share the same roof, when responsibilities become too much, the elderly largely just stop doing them instead of doing what they can and their children taking over when it proves to be too much. That inactivity is what contributes to mental decline.

When "excellence is expected", there's more than a nudge to keep mentally awake.

The current seniors/elderly are the workers from the industrial revolution or the then dawning technology age...
IT IS WORK RELATED.

If we awaken and energize the body of Christ- if Christians and people of faith come out and vote our values- we will win That seems plausible.
