This book brings together state-of-the-art research on successful
aging in Asian populations and highlights how the factors that
contribute to successful aging differ from those in the West. It
examines the differences between the Asian and Western contexts in
which the aging process unfolds, including cultural values,
lifestyles, physical environments and family structures. In
addition, it examines the question of how to add quality to longer
years of life. Specifically, it looks at ways to promote health,
preserve cognition, maximize functioning with social support and
maintain emotional well-being despite inevitable declines and
losses. Compared to other parts of the world, Asia will age more
quickly as a result of the rapid socioeconomic developments leading
to rising longevity and historically low fertility rates in some
countries. These demographic forces in vast populations such as
China are expected to make Asia the main driver of global aging in
the coming decades. As a result, researchers, professionals,
policymakers, as well as the commercial sector, in both East and
West, are increasingly interested in gaining a deeper understanding
of aging in Asia.
