Description
Madina Khamzina and Wendy Rogers ask what successful aging means to older adults who live with mobility disability. Their 2024 study challenges the textbook definition, which counts aging as successful only when disease and disability are absent. Twenty people aged sixty to seventy-five, living with multiple sclerosis that limits their movement, gave long interviews.
Participants described their own marks of a good old age and the coping moves they use to hold onto it. The authors adapt an existing framework to fit these first-hand accounts. The message for care and policy is plain: people inside disability judge success by engagement and adaptation, not by a clean bill of health.
