Cover, Aging With Dignity

This publication is available in PDF format only.

Life expectancy has increased dramatically in the past 100 years: 1 in every 8 Americans is age 65 or older. For most, this means an increase in the number of healthy years.

Chronological age differs from biological age. How will you age? What do you know about care options? Will you be responsible for others as they age?
