Once considered to diminish as people age, research is showing the contrary - that ageing, even when it brings physical or cognitive decline, can deliver an uptick in overall quality of life. It is referred to as The Ageing Paradox.
In this episode, Jacinta Parsons speaks with Dr Anita Goh, Associate Professor at the National Ageing Research Institute. With pragmatism and optimism, Anita provides insight into The Ageing Paradox, debunks some misconceptions about ageing and opens the door to the opportunity to change the prevailing narrative about life in later years.
Jacinta also talks with Ian Braybrook and Mazza Bennett, broadcasters and owners of Radio 88FM for Seniors in Castlemaine. They discuss resilience and living with a sense of purpose in their community.
Liz Hicklin is one of a kind. As energetic and excited about life as one could be, Liz says her life began at 90. And at 94, with plenty of challenges in her pocketful of memories, she’s still trying things she’s never done before and leading a full life.
