Angela Roberts is changing how we think about aging. By studying SuperAgers, she's uncovering what helps some adults maintain strong memory and communication abilities well into their 80s, showing that healthy aging is shaped by more than biology. “The one thing that comes through in every aspect of their lives is they live with purpose. They're always going, doing, engaging in something. They find their purpose wherever they are.” Through her research, Angela highlights that: - Healthy aging depends more on how we live our years than how many we accumulate. - Those who live the story often teach it best. - Our social lives are as essential to cognitive resilience as our biology.
