Among the COVID-19 pandemic's lessons is an increased awareness of the hazards of old age. But only a fraction of that risk is biological. At a moment in history when most of us will live into old age, we've created a world that's almost entirely focused on childhood and adulthood. It's time now to define, design, and empower this new, nearly universal elderhood. In this Medical Center Hour, geriatrician and writer Louise Aronson draws on her clinical experience and creative abilities to reimagine and advocate for old age not as a disease but as a vital phase of being human, with implications for social and community life, technology, geroscience, and healthcare. How shall we now approach elderhood?
