How you age is determined by your genetics, your resources, your lifestyle, and, let’s face it, your luck.
With all those variables, most of us can’t expect to age perfectly. But we can age optimally.
Optimal aging means living the best quality life possible given your circumstances, which might include chronic illness, physical limitation, or cognitive decline. Researchers at Washington State University are working on multiple fronts to ease the effect of such limitations on the lives of older adults.
