"Successful Aging:": A Disability Perspective
Abstract
This article examines the "successful aging" paradigm in gerontology and the problems it poses when applied to the growing population of people who are aging with substantial physical disabilities. We review Rowe and Kahn's (1998) three characteristics of successful aging-low probability of disease and disease-related disability, high cognitive and physical functioning, and active engagement with life-and explore their relevance and limitations when applied to people with disabilities. We demonstrate how both the term successful aging and its specific dimensions can serve to further stigmatize and marginalize people who, by virtue of their disabilities, may not meet narrowly defined criteria for "aging well." The article concludes by arguing for models that accent a broader ecological approach, one that stresses environmental accommodations and policy changes, and acknowledges that gains as well as losses are a critical part of the aging process. Implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed.

This new variant of ageism can mitigate against proactive health promotion and healthy maintenance activities advocated by proponents of successful aging by substantially lowering the bar of dreams and expectations for and by elders with disabilities.
“Frequently internalized by older people themselves, this new variant of ageism ironically can mitigate against the very proactive health promotion and healthy maintenance activities advocated by proponents of successful aging by ''substantially lowering the bar of dreams and expectations for and by elders with disabilities'' (Minkler & Fadem, 2002, p. 231).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
