People get more sleep disturbances, they have more difficult to keep their balance, when moving. Balance keeping is a demanding function of coordination in the brain. Mental problems increase with aging often in the form of irrational fears and mild paranoia. If you asked a pathologist, he would definitely claim that there is clear age related deterioration happening in the brain, even if there may appear new structures also. I see a certain kind of deterioration in myself even if I'm only 55. I tend to forget names more easily now. I also have to put my appointments and many tasks on calendar to be sure to remember them on time. When younger I remembered all my appointments easily without any calendar. But I can see improvement also in some other areas. MMY's very weird behaviour and his many irrational claims and stumbling in his speaking I have considered to be a result from weaker brain functioning that is very common in people of his age. I don't claim his behaviour to be a result of a massive stroke.
