People in virtually all countries around the world are living longer than ever before. There have always been a few individuals that have lived into their 80's, 90's and even their 100's; however, we now have a rapidly expanding population of older people both in New Zealand and around the world. Interestingly, we seem ill-prepared to answer the question of how to use all this extra time we have been fortunate to create for ourselves.
This has led to researchers beginning to explore the question of how we might age successfully? In this talk we will look at ideas from around the world and various research groups on how we might physically, psychologically, and socially age successfully.
