“You can’t help someone up a hill, Without getting closer to the top yourself”— Joey Dweck

TENAFLY, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, December 22, 2022/ EINPresswire.com / -- A recent study challenged prior definitions of what healthy or successful aging can look like by adopting a broader perspective.
To do so, the researchers observed older adults in Canada and identified a unique set of attributes among people who age optimally.
The researchers also assessed how well people age despite any chronic illnesses that may develop as they grow older.
Previous research, oftentimes, has used a narrow definition of what healthy aging can look like.

A recent study from researchers at the University of Toronto has provided new insights into healthy aging by observing two distinct demographics in Canada: immigrant and Canadian-born older adults.

The study’s authors identified several characteristics associated with positive experiences later in life that may contribute to healthy aging, thus revising the definition of what it means to age successfully.

The findings were recently published in the International Journal of Environmental Research.

Redefining successful aging
Mabel Ho, a doctoral candidate at the University of Toronto’s Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work and the Institute of Life Course and Aging, and lead author of the study, told Medical News Today:

“Previous definitions of successful aging were very narrow and required that older adults were free of all diseases — very few people met that definition.”

Ho explained that aging successfully means that individuals are not limited in their ability to accomplish everyday activities, regardless of whether they have a chronic illness.

Ho’s study defined healthy aging as having the following attributes:

the ability to accomplish activities of daily living (ADLs)
the ability to accomplish instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)
freedom from mental illness and memory problems
freedom from disabling chronic pain
self-reported perceptions of happiness and physical health
adequate social support
