The youngest baby boomers are rapidly approaching middle age, a time when many people begin to search for ways to look and
feel younger. Experts believe that the "graying of the United States" has created a cultural revolution, and expect
the baby boomers at the center of this shift to live longer, more youthful lives than any generation before them. Trends in
longevity research complement this theory by focusing on healthy aging rather than degeneration. Studies have linked healthy
behaviors with increased quality of life and improved physical outcomes, suggesting that various aspects of aging are not
predetermined.
While science offers hope for enduring vitality, technology presents a gateway to the latest anti-aging advances and
resources related to wellness and longevity. Many websites, interactive tools and online communities are designed for baby
boomers who want to maximize their physical, mental and emotional health. So while it is too early to know whether baby boomers
will find their fountain of youth, with time, science, and technology on their side, they may indeed shift the paradigm of
aging from growing old to staying young.
