We found a mild age-associated decrease in regional brain volumes in this healthy cohort with well-preserved cognitive functions. Visual assessment may not be sufficient for detecting mild progression of brain atrophy due to normal aging, whereas volumetry is more sensitive to capture these subtle changes.
