The key traits that turn you into a ‘super ager’
By Evelyn Lewin April 30, 2021
Nina Malanos is always on the go. When she’s not gardening, you might find her attending a lecture, catching up with friends or enjoying an evening at the theatre.
While none of that may sound extraordinary, it becomes more impressive when you consider the fact that Nina is 87. She doesn’t feel it, though. “I still do what I did before. It doesn’t look the same,” she says with a laugh, “but I do it anyway.”
Super agers tend to live active lifestyles and remain active “even well into their 80s and 90s”. They also continue to challenge themselves with new tasks, such as learning a new language or going back to university.CREDIT:STOCKSY
Nina is what’s known as a “super ager”, says Professor Perminder Sachdev, co-director of the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) at UNSW Sydney.
He says the term refers to people in their “70s, 80s and beyond” whose ability – whether it be their memory, way of thinking, or even aerobic fitness – is of the standard of someone “at least 20 years younger”.
