Abstract
Background & Objectives: - Because of increasing life expectancy and falling death rate, the population of world is becoming older. The number of aged persons increased and Geriatrics complaint like dementia, MCI, Alzheimer’s demands more medical attention. Changes in cognitive abilities are part of normal ageing process. There are of course individual differences in the age at which cognitive state begins to decline as well as in the rate at which these losses takes place. Understanding the genetic make up of an individual is the key to personalized therapy.Hence it becomes necessary to categorize individuals on the basis of broad phenotypic clusters. Prakriti has genetic connotation that could provide a tool for classifying human population based on broad phenotype. So now at this moment this study is carried out to evaluate the cognitive functions in different Prakritis with respect to ageing and to analyze and interpret the study results with modern medicine and Ayurveda perspective to formulate useful guideline.
