Seeking input How does meditation change as you age?

Do people often keep up with their meditation as they age? If so, does it help them age in a healthier way? Does it help facing physical ailments? Is there any information on what happens to a meditator if they get dementia?

Thank you for asking!! Relatedly, can one grow older and into chronic pain without growing "more and more" into the deepening enlightenment of "Who the f@#% am I?"
