There are negative realities associated with aging, however the purpose of this article is to present factors that contribute to healthy aging, including maintaining an active role in life. A number of successful patterns of aging exist. Instead of reciting these lifestyles, the authors will highlight means in which persons can age, while maintaining their health. Unfortunately, the current literature and research is lacking in identifying positive aspects of aging. The authors hope that through summarizing the literature and bringing it into the forefront, this article may contribute to a resurgence of valuable research, energy, and study around the topic of healthy aging.

Key Words: aging • healthy aging • positive aging
