A Positive Mindset May Be the Secret to Aging Well
A large study of more than 11,000 seniors followed for about a decade found that those with more positive attitudes toward aging improved in thinking skills and walking speed, suggesting mindset matters as people age. Real‑world programs like Atlanta’s Primetime Seniors keep older adults active and social (yoga, line dancing, swim lessons), supporting health and resilience, with experts noting optimism boosts confidence, preventive care use, and overall well‑being.
