The importance of impaired physical health and age in normal cognitive aging
TL;DR: It is suggested that impaired physical health is more important than chronological age in accounting for cognitive impairment across the adult lifespan, that age and health dissociate with regard to cognitive functions affected, and that selection for so-called "super healthy" elderly people might be justified in cognitive research.

The effect of age on fluid intelligence is fully mediated by physical health
TL;DR: The findings imply that improving health by acting against the common age-related circulatory- and nervous system diseases and risk factors will oppose the decline in fluid intelligence with age.

Five-year change scores in old age for six neuropsychological tests and normative data for the Useful Field of View (UFOV) test: The influence of physical health.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that considering the influence of health on normative change scores in old age in addition to demographic factors leads to more accurate predictions of whether true change has occurred.

Neuropsychological test norms controlled for physical health: Does it matter?
TL;DR: The findings indicate that norms uncontrolled for health overestimate the negative influence of advanced age and low education, implying a risk of drawing false diagnostic conclusions.
Health-adjusted neuropsychological test norms based on 463 older Swedish car drivers.
TL;DR: It was concluded that individual regression-based predictions of expected values have the advantage of allowing control for the impact of health on normative scores in addition to the adjustment for various demographic and performance-related variables and that health-adjusted norms have the potential to classify functional status more accurately, to the extent that these norms diverge from norms uncontrolled for physical health.
