Description
Britteny Howell and co-authors ask older Alaskans in 2023 whether they feel they are aging well. How people judge their own aging may shape how they actually age, the team notes. Fifty-eight adults aged fifty-five and up, all in urban Alaska, rated themselves on a standard successful aging scale.
Scores landed mid-scale, near 4.2 of 7, on how well they are aging, how well they have aged, and how life feels now. Feeling of aging well rose with better self-rated health, they report, and fell as disability rose. Age itself showed no link in this group, whose mean sat near seventy-two. A small gift-shop sample limits reach, the authors admit, but the health link hints that feeling capable and feeling well age together.
