cognitive health
Brain function wellness
Cognitive health refers to the overall condition of mental functions—memory, attention, reasoning, learning, and decision-making.
Good cognitive health means these capacities work well enough for daily life.
The term appears frequently in discussions of aging: Regular exercise supports cognitive health, Puzzles and social engagement may protect cognitive health as we age.
Unlike mental health, which emphasizes emotional wellbeing, cognitive health focuses specifically on thinking abilities.
