The Lived Experience of Adults 50-Plus
Exploring contributors to wellbeing through the aging journey.






Adults age 50 or over are a diverse population with wide-ranging interests, responsibilities, and aspirations. The Lived Experience of Adults 50-Plus aims to capture that diversity of experience through the lens of factors that contribute to older adults’ sense of well-being. We explore factors of well-being using quantitative and qualitative research, that is, by listening to older adults talk about their lives.
