Living better, not just longer

A Yale University study titled 'Aging Redefined' challenges traditional views of aging by showing that nearly half of adults aged 65 or older experienced physical or mental improvements over 12 years. The research suggests that positive self-perceptions and counteracting age stereotypes contribute to better life outcomes. The study's authors argue that redefining aging to include the possibility of improvement could benefit both individuals and society. Columnist Leana S. Wen emphasizes the importance of changing age-related attitudes, while noting the challenge of doing so. The findings align with historical calls for shifting societal perspectives on aging.
