Turning 80: How the Body Changes in Today’s 80s

TL;DR Summary
Marking Trump's 80th birthday, experts say the 80s bring diverse health paths: cognitive function can decline with brain shrinkage, though some 'super-agers' retain strong memory; arteries stiffen raising heart risks; bone density falls, so adequate calcium and vitamin D and regular activity are vital, with goals like 150 minutes of movement weekly and nutrient targets (calcium 1,000–1,200 mg daily; vitamin D 600–700 IU).
