"Rates of aging vary widely among other seemingly similar groups of people. What causes one person to be old at 70 and and another to be youthful into his 90s? This question is posed to a number of researchers, who explain the theories and findings from the field of geriatrics. A half-century-long study that examined the mental health of Harvard graduates over their lifetimes is used to illiminate the predictors of healthy aging. Viewers also follow several elderly people as they go through their days and discuss their routines and their health. The impact of diet, smoking, drinking, family history, and personality are discussed. New research is highlighted that offers the possibility of altering our genetic structure to enable us to live longer and in better health."@en
