Reaction Time: Males, Age 50-59

Reaction time measures how quickly you respond to a stimulus. It reflects the speed of sensory processing, decision-making, and motor response. Simple reaction time naturally slows with age but can be improved with practice.

What these numbers mean for males aged 50-59

A score around 290 ms is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. Times below about 250 ms fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance (faster is better). Times above about 340 ms fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population ran faster.

Percentiles show how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
