The world's population is aging. Persons alive at age 85 years or older, often designated the “oldest old,” are the fastest-growing age group in most industrialized countries and are among the largest consumers of health care resources.1 Identifying strategies for remaining healthy, vigorous, and disability-free at older ages has become a major priority, as reflected by the US Surgeon General's Healthy People 2010 objectives,2 the US National Institute on Aging Strategic Plan,3 and increased study of healthy “successful”4 or “effective”5 aging.
