Key Findings Low cognitive ability, functional limitations, and poor physical health are strong predictors of dementia as many as 20 years before its onset. Lifestyle factors, such as never drinking alcohol or drinking excessively, never exercising, and low engagement in hobbies, are associated with cognitive impairment and dementia. Early detection of cognitive impairment helps people take mitigating actions to prepare for future loss of their financial and physical independence.

This paper analyzes how computerization affected the labor market outcomes of older workers between 1984 and 2017. Using the computerization supplements of the Current Population Survey (CPS) we show that different occupations were computerized at different times, older workers tended to start using computers with a delay compared to younger workers, but computer use within occupations converged to the same levels across age groups eventually.
