Myths lead to treatable conditions being considered normal parts of aging, including cognitive decline, dementia, depression and loneliness.

Key Points: 
  • Myths lead to treatable conditions being considered normal parts of aging, including cognitive decline, dementia, depression and loneliness.
  • At the same time, mainstream media promotes the message that being young is central to a person’s value.
  • Centenarians are a small but growing segment of the population with 13,844 centenarians in Canada, and our findings debunk myths about the experience of aging.

Long and interesting lives

    • One of the women helped build bullet casings and worked on the Lancaster bomber.
    • Another woman helped her husband protect the blueprints of the ill-fated Avro Arrow aircraft when he brought them home from work.
    • Our team was fascinated by their stories and wanted to further explore what their lives look like today.

Joy and challenges

    • This study used a research method called thematic analysis to find four themes: Finding Joy, Act your Age, Looking Forward and Putting Challenges into Perspective.
    • The centenarians found joy each day and enjoyed the little things such as activities, visits and treats.
    • However, one of the challenges was that there was no one left alive who had the same shared experiences.

Limitations

    • The centenarians were constrained by the limitations of society, their bodies and their self-perceptions.
    • She physically described this phenomenon by clasping her hands together in her lap and sitting still.
    • Some participants found life to be boring at 100 compared to their lives as younger adults.
    • In spite of these feelings, many of the participants continued to be busy and live life fully despite limitations.

The future

    • Most of the centenarians had few plans for themselves for the future and were more interested in leading their day-to-day lives.
    • “I have too many plans.” The centenarians looked to the future of their families and the larger community and entrusted the next generation to make good choices.
