The importance of successful aging is increasingly acknowledged in the field of gerontology. In this paper we contribute to ongoing efforts to clarify and operationalize this concept by presenting our revised Comprehensive Preventive Corrective Proactive (PCP) model that builds on relevant research traditions, our prior formulations and accumulating research evidence based on testing this model. Recognizing biopsychosocial challenges and contextual stressors that are normative for older individuals, we emphasize the critical role of proactive behavioral adaptations in ameliorating the adverse effects of stressors. We argue that competent actions to address age-related changes and stressors are necessary to achieve positive quality-of-life outcomes. We propose that future research may benefit from employing more complex methodological approaches and data analytic tools.
成功老龄化的重要性在老年学领域日益得到认可。在本文中，我们通过展示我们修订后的综合预防-纠正-主动（PCP）模型，为正在进行的阐明和实施这一概念的努力做出贡献。该模型建立在相关研究传统、我们之前的构想以及基于对该模型进行测试所积累的研究证据之上。认识到对老年人来说具有规范性的生物心理社会挑战和情境压力源，我们强调主动行为适应在减轻压力源不利影响方面的关键作用。我们认为，采取有效行动应对与年龄相关的变化和压力源对于实现积极的生活质量结果是必要的。我们建议未来的研究可能会受益于采用更复杂的方法和数据分析工具。
