399 Emily Rogalski: Distinguishing Super Agers--The Science of ExceptionalCognitive Health
Tuesday, 22 September, 2026
What can we learn from older adults who maintain remarkable memory and cognitive health well into their 80s and beyond? Dr. Emily Rogalski invites us into the fascinating science of SuperAgers—adults over 80 whose memory performance is comparable to people 20–30 years younger. As leader of the SuperAging Research Initiative at the University of Chicago,Dr. Rogalski and her team study what allows some people to age remarkably well. She explains emerging findings in accessible language, including intriguing differences between women and men, and explores the protective factors that may contribute to exceptional cognitive health. She also talks about the interplay of genetics, lifestyle, environment, and brain biology—and what SuperAgers may teach us about healthy aging and Alzheimer’s disease.Connect with EmilyEmail: erogalski@uchicago.edu; Elizabeth.addison@bsd.uchicago.eduWebsite SuperAging Research InitiativeTHANKS TO OUR PLATINUM SPONSOR, AARP ILLINOIS a nonprofit,nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older tochoose how they live as they age.
