Is Successful Aging Declining with Age? The Age Profile of Objective, Subjective, and Preference-Based Measures of Successful Aging in Europe
Author(s): Koen Decancq* and Veerle Van Loon
This note compares the age profile based on standard objective and subjective measures of successful aging with the age profile based on a novel preference-based measure proposed by Decancq et al. Using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) for 2013, we find that the share of persons between 50 and 90 who are aging successfully in Europe declines with age according to the objective and preference-based measures of successful aging. At any point in the age distribution, the share of older persons who are aging successfully according to the preference-based measure is significantly larger than the share according to the objective measure. The subjective measure of successful aging, however, shows a remarkably stable age profile. .. View more»
