Successful Aging Through the Years: Past and Present Interpretations and the Future of an Integrated Model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent theories of successful aging (SA) challenge the notions set forth by researchers Rowe and Kahn, whose influential model has been viewed as being primarily biomedical in nature. This article reviews the historical context of SA, highlighting the importance of ideologies rooted in biomedical beliefs, but also presents psychosocial models adopted by researchers from perspectives of laypersons that challenge these concepts. While having good health is important into later life, we argue that the Rowe and Kahn model is incomplete in its scope and lacking holistic interpretations of the aging process. More recently, it has been argued that aging success is more than just maintaining good health (i.e., cognitive and physical functional capacities) and that adaptation and compensation are integral in considering whether one is aging successfully.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
