Prior to age 40, fewer than 4 in 10 people have a serious health condition. By age 60, three-quarters of us face at least one serious health challenge.

By age 80, a higher percentage of people report feeling prepared for the inevitability of death than at any time earlier in life, according to a 2022 survey by AARP and National Geographic.Many pass through the 60s and 70s embracing and accepting the changes of aging.

Watch videos or listen to podcasts about life transitions, re-inventing yourself, coping with change, or aging positively.
