Many people date partners roughly their age, but some people have quite large age gaps in their relationships. However, there has not been a lot of systematic psychological research to find out how much of an age gap people prefer in aromantic relationship. To fill this gap, a...

ageing that predisposes to brain diseases. This deviation between the predicted-brain age and chronological age is referred to as the “brain-age gap” [3]. There are associations between individual brain-age gaps and adverse outcomes such as mortality [4] and neurodegenerative disorders [5,6,7...
