How Old Is Old? Rethinking the “Normal” Process of Aging

9 minute video at link, I'm not interested in this, I'm not planning on acting old even as I get old. 

I'm doing Hunter S. Thompson and Anthony Bourdain

Part of my Hunter S. Thompson journey;
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

 How Old Is Old? Rethinking the “Normal” Process of Aging

Key Takeaways

  • Life expectancy has significantly increased over the past century, challenging traditional notions of normal aging and necessitating a reevaluation of aged-care delivery.
  • Patient-centered care should prioritize individual goals and preferences, with healthcare providers assisting in achieving these personalized objectives.
  • Pharmacists play a crucial role in compressing morbidity through therapeutics, offering significant potential in managing age-related health concerns.
  • Initiatives like the "age-friendly pharmacist" badge aim to motivate pharmacists to specialize in improving care for the aging population.
