dc.description.abstractThe Experiences of Aging in Society (EOA) project is investigating how societal beliefs about aging and older adults may affect health. Ageism is believed to increase risk for many health problems commonly thought to be a natural consequence of getting older. Ageism refers to stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination related to old age, aging, and older adults. On the other hand, many older adults also identify benefits associated with aging that may protect their health. Since 2021, our team has been collecting information from a diverse group of adults ages 50+ about their feelings, expectations, and experiences with growing older. Thanks to your help, we have been able to research how positive and negative experiences of aging may affect people’s health, both immediately and in the future. We are also studying similarities and differences across several US racial and ethnic groups. Project results will inform programs, policies, and research that promote the health and wellbeing of older adults.en_US
