(a) as people grow older, they are often advised to keep exercising their physical and mental capacities in order to maintain or improve them. (b) many medical conditions and treatments that adversely affect a person's mental sharpness also tend to increase that person's social isolation.

(e) the tasks evaluating mental sharpness for which data were compiled by the study were more akin to mathematics problems than to conversation.
