According to the classic concepts of Row & Kahn, successful aging comprises of ...........

  • A.High physical, psychological and social functioning in old age without diseases
  • B.Factors within the person like happiness
  • C.Adaption to age related changes in a given context
  • D.Balance between person's needs and competency

Answer: A

Successful aging comprises high physical, psychological and social functioning in old age without diseases.

Rowe and Kahn's classic model (the paper prints 'Row') defines successful aging by three components: low probability of disease and disability, high cognitive and physical functional capacity, and active engagement with life through relationships and productive activity.

Happiness alone is a subjective criterion, adaptation to age-related change in context is closer to Baltes's selective optimisation with compensation, and a balance of needs and competence describes person-environment fit models; none is Rowe and Kahn's definition.
