This makes a great deal of sense to me. Researchers from the New Jersey Institute for Successful Aging at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey conducted a telephone survey of more than 5,688 residents of New Jersey between the ages of 50 and 74.
They found that people are more likely to "age successfully" if they did certain things earlier in their lives, such as: get an education, get married, stay out of jail, consume only moderate amounts of alcohol and work.
"Successful aging" was defined both by objective (measurable) and subjective (how the person felt or responded to questions) criteria. The study shows that while behaviors earlier in life (before age 50) are important, successful aging can also be influenced by health behaviors and social support in later years.
