WASHINGTON, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While three-quarters or more of those 60 and over have at least one serious health condition, nearly half rate their health as very good or excellent, according to new research from AARP in collaboration with National Geographic Partners. The Second Half of Life Research found that Americans are more likely to take steps to address their health as they get older, including actions like getting health screenings, eating more produce and monitoring their sugar intake. And having more healthy years matters more than simply living longer – most respondents were interested in a hypothetical pill that could slow down aging, but far fewer would take a pill to extend their life by a decade.

Key Points: 
  • "The insights in this study demand that we reexamine our assumptions about aging, especially outdated stereotypes around growing older," said Jo Ann Jenkins, CEO of AARP.
  • On the financial front, just over half of adults 70 and older say their financial situation is excellent or very good but responses vary widely by household income.
  • AARP is the nation's largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.
