This geriatric profile specifically reflects the impressive achievements of Thomas Jefferson during the years of his retirement (ages 66-83) following a distinguished political career culminating in the Presidency. President Monroe sought his advice even after the age of 80, and Jefferson's reasoning was instrumental in the formulation of the Monroe Doctrine. Education was a foremost priority in retirement. He was responsible for the establishment of the University of Virginia, in which his versatility was manifested as architect, builder, and fund raiser. Jefferson was a man of breadth and extraordinary vision for his time, and has come to be known as the "Father of American Democracy." The basic concepts of his philosophy, including the realm of aging, remain valid today-150 years after his passing.
这份老年人生平简介特别展现了托马斯·杰斐逊在其辉煌政治生涯以担任总统为巅峰之后的退休岁月（66岁至83岁）里所取得的令人瞩目的成就。门罗总统在杰斐逊80岁之后仍向他征求意见，而杰斐逊的见解对门罗主义的形成起到了关键作用。退休后，教育是首要任务。他负责创建了弗吉尼亚大学，在这一过程中，他作为建筑师、建造者和筹款人的多才多艺得以展现。杰斐逊是一个在他那个时代具有广泛视野和非凡远见的人，如今已被誉为“美国民主之父”。在他去世150年后的今天，他的哲学基本理念，包括关于衰老的领域，仍然有效。
