Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are verbal memory and search speed in early midlife associated with mortality over 25 years ' follow-up , independently of health status and early life factors : a British birth cohort study?
Answer: Cognitive capability in early midlife was inversely associated with mortality rates over 25 years and accounted for the associations of family background, childhood cognitive ability and educational attainment with mortality. These findings, in a nationally representative cohort with long-term follow-up, suggest that building cognitive reserve may improve later life health and survival chances.
