baby boomers : will they age successfully?
abstract
the purpose of this study was to examine factors considered likely to predict whether or
not baby boomers are likely to age successfully. data were obtained from a secondary
analysis of selected items from a healthy aging questionnaire. baby boomer responses
were compared with those of the current generation of seniors. significant differences
were found in regards to exercise, life satisfaction and financial preparation for
retirement. the study suggests that baby boomers will age successfully in part because of
their tendency to score higher on measures of education and health.
