密歇根新闻广播 对老龄化持积极态度

 

Most older adults face biases², but view aging positively³, University of Michigan poll finds

A joke about how to use a smartphone. A wink⁴ between colleagues about a current pop culture reference. Unneeded help with routine tasks.

Those are some of the ways older people experience ageism.

The University of Michigan looked at bias¹ against older people and other quality of life issues in its National Poll on Healthy Aging, which has just been released.

Dr. Preeti Malani is U of M’s chief health officer and director of the group that worked on the poll. She spoke⁵ with Michigan Radio's Doug Tribou about the findings. (You can hear the full interview at the top of this page.)
