Document Summary
Rowe and kahn retirement study people that tend to be successful agers tend to have very little disease. At the same time they want to maximize what they already have and their abilities. You also want to engage in active life. Lots of research done on minimizing risk and maximizing abilities, there is a lot of new attention on engaging in active life since this wasn"t as focused on before. Also when you say things like engage in active life this could mean different things for different people. This is a very person based system that puts the responsibility on the individual, not the environment. It doesn"t consider cultural norms and its very focused on the physical wellbeing instead of things like spiritual wellbeing. Also doesn"t take into account how you view yourself and certain ideas about health. The structural lag could cause a lack of opportunities for people to actually age actively.
