His health deteriorated in his later years from "summary" of Empire: the Life, Legend, and Madness of Howard Hughes by Donald L. Bartlett
As Howard Hughes grew older, his physical and mental well-being faced a steady decline. Once known for his sharp intellect and commanding presence, Hughes found himself increasingly isolated and frail in his later years. The once vibrant and energetic man became a shadow of his former self, plagued by various health issues that only seemed to worsen with time. Despite his immense wealth and resources, Hughes was unable to escape the inevitable effects of aging. His once legendary stamina and resilience began to falter, leaving him vulnerable and dependent on others for his care. The same man who had once pushed the boundaries of aviation and business now struggled to perform even the most basic tasks. Hughes' deteriorating health took a toll on his mental faculties as well. The once brilliant and visionary entrepreneur began to exhibit signs of cognitive decline, with his memory and judgment becoming increasingly impaired. His once sharp mind now seemed clouded and confused, a stark contrast to the clarity and focus he had once possessed. As his physical and mental health continued to decline, Hughes became more reclusive and withdrawn, retreating further into his own world of isolation and paranoia. The man who had once been a larger-than-life figure now seemed small and fragile, a mere shell of his former self. In his later years, Howard Hughes' health became a source of concern and speculation for those around him. His once formidable presence had diminished to a mere whisper, a poignant reminder of the inevitable passage of time and its effects on even the most powerful and influential individuals.
