What factors lead to a drop in IQ?

[Whitney Edwards]

I forgot another important factor - trauma. Trauma must impact memory.

Some of us so dumb in our early years we actually can get smarter with age if we take care of our body and mind and do work on it. Well, lots of us actually. 
 

Aging can be a good thing.

@Thought Art when I say old I mean ‘old age’ old. Your mental faculties will start to decline certainly past 70 

Consciousness wise not necessarily so. IQ is basically how fast your mind can process information. Like a calculator in your head

[Asayake]

Saying meditation increases IQ is partly true, partly not. The long term effect, I think is likely to increase IQ. The short term effect could bring up different things one has to work through, this could be distracting as it would cause a temporary worsened focus. The mind is more tricky than linear progression sometimes, just pointing it out there. 

Things that improve your IQ.. probably logical, problem solving kind of tasks and practicing them rigorously such as mathematics, physics & computer programming. These would train the mind to become faster att seeing logical pattern and solving problems. Other than that Im in agreement that diet plays a big role. For example there has been studies done that show better test performance for people if they ingest something light which gives them blood sugar spike when writing a test, such as orange juice. Deficiencys can also play a part. If you suffer from nutritional deficiencys that might affect brain performance especially B vitamins.

@Buck Edwards A drop in IQ can be caused by brain injuries, chronic stress, poor nutrition, sleep deprivation, substance abuse, or medical conditions like dementia. Mental decline can also occur due to lack of cognitive stimulation. These factors, individually or combined, impair brain function and can result in reduced cognitive abilities over time.

It is very common to see facets of inteligence that appears out of the blue at 25 or so, like the pleasure of mathematics. We are pretty unpredictable.
