Important demographic shifts and the so-called 'longevity revolution' have generated profound transformations in social interpretations of old age, an increased interest in age studies and new ideas on how to age well. The majority of current successful ageing models, however, represent rather a prevailing construct in Western societies. Physical and psychosocial well-being and the ability to adjust to the ideals of successful ageing are often seen as an integral part of a good quality in life. Those who do not or cannot follow these lines are often regarded as morally irresponsible and seem to be doomed to have a lonely, unhealthy and unhappy later life. This paper questions the current discourses of successful ageing in terms of healthy and happy living and calls for a reconsideration of more global, integrated and holistic understandings of the process of growing old.
重要的人口结构转变以及所谓的“长寿革命”，已在社会对老年的解读中引发了深刻变革，人们对老年研究的兴趣与日俱增，同时也催生了关于如何安享晚年的新观念。然而，当前大多数成功老龄化模式，更多地体现了西方社会的一种主流观念。身体和心理社会福祉以及适应成功老龄化理想状态的能力，常被视为优质生活不可或缺的一部分。那些不遵循或无法遵循这些理念的人，往往被视为道德上不负责任，似乎注定要在晚年过上孤独、不健康且不幸福的生活。本文对当前关于健康快乐生活的成功老龄化话语提出质疑，并呼吁重新审视对衰老过程更具全球性、综合性和整体性的理解。
