Cognitive decline is one of the aspects of aging. The article reviews research papers on determinants of cognitive abilities and factors preventing agerelated decline of cognitive function. The reviewed studies use the data from the SHARE survey – a cross-national panel survey with the target population of individuals aged 50 and over. The studies show that early life health and circumstances, education or macro-economic conditions impact the cognitive abilities at older ages. Moreover, there is evidence that being cognitively active, especially postponing retirement, helps slowing the process of cognitive decline.

Jednym z aspektów procesu starzenia się jest pogarszanie się umiejętności poznawczych. Artykuł zawiera przegląd wyników prac badawczych, których przedmiotem jest analiza czynników wpływających na funkcjonowanie poznawcze i jego zmiany związane z procesem starzenia się. Analizy te wykorzystują międzynarodowe dane panelowe SHARE – badania osób po 50. roku życia. Wyniki wskazują, że na funkcjonowanie poznawcze osób starszych mają wpływ różnice w warunkach rozwoju na etapie wczesnego dzieciństwa, edukacja w młodości, czy sytuacja gospodarcza zarówno w młodości, jaki i w wieku średnim. Analizy pokazują także, że aktywność umysłowa, a więc również praca zawodowa, pomaga zahamować spadek umiejętności poznawczych.
