在美国．85岁以上的高龄人口是全美人口增长速度最快的群体。过去几十年中，老年学家认为，这一年龄组的老人几乎是社会人群中最无助和最脆弱的。然而近年来，对这部分群体的研究发现，其生活状态已突破了某些传统的思维定势。最近一项中国与美国合作进行的高龄老人生活状态的研究揭示了高龄老人是提供照料者和作出贡献者。这项研究在美国的调查结果显示，一部分高龄老人们在通过正式与非正式网络作出贡献，展示了其老年价值的潜力；并且，其参与社会生活的程度与生活满意度呈正比。研究结果表明，对于高龄老人来说，健康的生活不仅意味着可以得到必要的健康管理和服务．还包括高度重视和采取积极的生活方式。
In the U.S. The population aged 85 and over is the fastest growing population in the United States. For decades, gerontologists have argued that the elderly in this age group are almost the most helpless and vulnerable of the social population. However, in recent years, studies on this group of people have found that their living conditions have broken through some traditional thinking. A recent study on the living conditions of elderly people in China conducted in cooperation with the United States revealed that senior citizens are caretakers and contributors. The findings of this study in the United States show that a portion of older people demonstrate their potential to contribute to their elderly value through their contributions to both formal and informal networks; and that their participation in social life is directly proportional to their satisfaction with life. The results show that for the elderly, a healthy life means not only the necessary health management and services. Also includes a high degree of emphasis and take a positive lifestyles.
