Abstract
Abstract With the rapid demographic changes, it is predicted that every fifth person in the U.S. will be age 65 or older in the next decade. The quality of life and successful aging of older adults, who now live longer, is an important research area from societal and public health perspectives. Rowe and Kahn (1997) defined successful aging as having a low probability of disease and disability, high cognitive and physical functioning, and active engagement with life. A prominent limitation of this model is that it initially neglects essential components of aging and factors that are beyond an individual’s choice and control, such as health declines and disabilities. We used the National Health & Aging Trends Study data to understand successful aging from the perspectives of those who experience disability integrating subjective components of self-rated health and well-being. These data provide insights on subjective perceptions on successful aging among older adults with disabilities.
