Successful Aging
Successful aging is a multidimensional concept that goes beyond just living a long life. It involves maintaining physical and cognitive function, avoiding disease and disability, and engaging in meaningful activities. It also encompasses subjective well-being, emotional resilience, and a sense of purpose.
Normal Aging
Normal aging refers to the natural, progressive physiological changes that occur as individuals age and while generally expected and not necessarily harmful can impact individual's function and quality of life.
