Well yeah case to case with anything specific is going to be unique, but that is the overall general trend.
This also isn’t one study, it’s a synopsis of lots of data and studies.
Just like you might have the rare 80year old run a 5k, that doesn’t disprove that overall our bodies aren’t physically declining significantly overall by then.
Can you link me to this scientific proof that cognitive abilities are significantly in decline by age 70 please?
You really need me to give you a link to prove that we decline as we age? Really?
That’s also something you could easily google yourself but I have no problem providing some info to you:

More specifically, read the part about “Executive Function”. But the whole thing is worth a read for a good overview.
Second time I’ve seen you post this study with little reflection outside your narrative. Cognitive decline, one must assume.

I mean, it’s not straight science, but have you met people over 70? They are not in their prime when it comes to work performance.
Depends on the person. Some people are on an obvious decline in their 50s. Others are still quick as a whip in their 70s.
Most of them don’t have the kind of medical care you get when you’re a Senator/President.
Ok, fair. But Reagan’s cognitive ability didn’t really benefit much from all that care, did it?
Not only do we decline mentally and physically (naturally) there’s also the increased risk of dementia.
