HLSC 6122G - Successful Ageing

The purpose of this course is to study successful (healthy) ageing from a biopsychosocial perspective. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of how successful ageing is defined, what the potential and established lifelong predictors of successful ageing are, and what tools or methodologies are currently available to assess successful ageing. An emphasis of this course will be on lifestyle and behavioral predictors such as physical activity; however, student projects can focus on other potential predictors. The most current research from a variety of disciplines will be used to ensure a broad understanding of the topic as it affects middle-aged and older adults.
