Thanks, Milton. nswer: Dear Milton, one of the best known studies on "successful aging" is the John D. and Catherine T. MacAr- thur Foundation Study of Success- ful Aging (you may remember the MacArthur Foundation as one of the principal co-sponsors of Ken Burns' highly acclaimed Civil War series on PBS). In it's simplest terms, the oft-cited MacArthur Study (undertaken in the early 1990s) can be boiled down to the following recommendations: • Do your very best to avoid disease and dis- ability (of course, easier said than done); • Maintain high cognitive and physical function; • Stay involved with life and living. A long-term Tufts University study of older Japanese men found the following risk factors can affect living a healthy life to 85+: • Avoid: being overweight, hyperg- lycemia, hypertension, and high triglyceride levels; • Don't smoke or consume exces- sive alcohol; • Positive factors: high education and having a mate. Yes, you can make a difference.
