Abstract:
As a nation we are getting older and not all individuals will be fortunate enough to age as successfully as Jean Calment. Improving governmental policies and improving dissemination of information regarding aging to the lay public and health care professionals can make a difference though in how many older individuals can achieve old age with less disability. Teamwork among the patient, health care professionals, and society as a whole can help burnish the "golden years."
