AnnotationAn edited and revised version of a paper entitled "What is successful aging?" presented at the Southern Regional Education Board Regional Conference for Nursing Educators, March 26-27, 1992. Discusses good health as one of the main criteria by which old people are judged to have aged successfully, and argues that health professionals and other care workers must question culture-bound explanations of causes and consequences of ill health.
