A New Look at Aging

A look at the aging process which begins from the time we are born and continues throughout life. Our environment, nutrition, activity patterns and lifestyle affect how we age. Baby boomers, who are now approaching 65 years of age, are beginning to ask questions about their own future and have questions about their aging family members and friends. Older adults, finding that they are living longer than expected, are wondering how to best address some of the issues confronting them and individuals are looking for information to help them age as healthily as possible. As a society, we are looking for ways to respond to the growing numbers of older adults. (6 x 60:00)
