Future Centenarian Projects
Lynn is
working on a second book on successful aging, which she expects to be
published soon. In it she reiterates a point she made in
1988 after her first Arizona study: Centenarians are a distinguished
group of distinctive individuals. As evidenced by contemporary
centenarians over the past two decades, there is no one model
centenarian and not one road to the age of 100. Aging is
individualized, and that is good news—it presents the possibility for
each of us to make the most of whatever years we have. And while the Spirit of active
centenarians has remained consistent over the past 24 years, Lynn has
found that what has changed noticeably is the health, vitality and
activity level of more centenarians. A greater number of the
centenarian population today is both mentally and physically healthier
and more active than their counterparts two decades ago, and this bodes
well for the future of aging and for an improved quality of life for
"boomers" and others in the years ahead.
National Centenarian Awareness
Project is currently involved in several wide-ranging projects, in
addition to Lynn's book in progress. If you would like to recommend an
active centenarian who would enjoy participating in an appropriate event or
activity, please send us an e-mail. We would love to hear from you. Lynn's
goal continues: to show and tell America what its eldest citizens are all
about and the quality of life they are capable of enjoying!
