Abstract
- The article discusses on whether linguistic changes anticipate changes in the physical and mental health in older adults. A 10-minute oral disclosures was completed by 160 Black and White women and men with age ranging from 50 to 70, with follow-up after one month. It suggests that older adults demonstrate greater off-topic verbosity, manifest more integrated themes, and narrate in a manner that connect self experiences.
