People are living longer than ever before. In fact, people born before 1935 have already lived longer than scientists back then expected anyone to live, and life expectancies are predicted to extend even further. People over age 85 are now the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. And people are putting the extra years to use, leading active, healthy, and rewarding lives. Scientists are finding that a healthy lifestyle can defer what used to be the inevitable tolls of aging.
