A Special Case of the Very Old: Lifelong Learners.
Neikrug, Shimshon; And Others
Educational Gerontology, v21 n4 p345-55 Jun 1995
Interviews with 43 Israeli elders (81-91) showed that 86% lived independently in their own homes and communities; 67% were in good health; most continued social contacts of their early lives and established new supports as needed; and they lived culturally active lives as adults, not as "old people."
