Substantial increases in the relative and absolute number of older persons in our society pose a challenge for biology, social and behavioral science, and medicine. Successful aging is multidimensional, encompassing the avoidance of disease and disability, the maintenance of high physical and cognitive function, and sustained engagement in social and productive activities. Research has identified factors predictive of success in these critical domains. The stage is set for intervention studies to enhance the proportion of our population aging successfully.
我们社会中老年人的相对数量和绝对数量大幅增加，这对生物学、社会和行为科学以及医学构成了挑战。成功老龄化是多维度的，包括避免疾病和残疾、维持较高的身体和认知功能，以及持续参与社会和生产活动。研究已经确定了在这些关键领域预测成功的因素。开展干预研究以提高我国成功老龄化人口比例的阶段已经就绪。
