Greenbank 985-3371 Seniors usually successful In recent years, researchers in- terested in gerontology have refocused their studies away from the institutional setting to seek out aged Canadians who are living on their own and are functioning independently. Researchers have traditionally studied older people who live in nur- sing homes and institutions, says University of Guelph psychologist Richard Lonetto, because they were easy to access. Yet they represent only 7 percent to 8 percent of the ag- ed population in Canada. Generalizations based on this small group have led "researchers to develop a negative stereotype of what it's like to be old, says Lonet- to, and "it's largely based on the wrong population." He says much more data is need- ed on the successful aging person. "We need to know what it is about these people which allows them to go beyond all the myths and beliefs we have about them." Projects sponsored by the Univer- sity of Guelph Gerontology Research Centre have attempted to respond to this need for more representative data. In its three- year life-span, the Centre has tried to increase on-campus interest in gerontology and has carried out more than 70 different research pro- jects involving Guelph faculty and students in the study of the elderly and the aging process. One of the Centre's funded pro- jects involves the establishment of a data-base that contains informa- tion on more than 600 "successf aged who live independently. Available to other researchers, the data-base provides information on all phases of the lives of both rural and urban seniors in Ontario. As Canadians begin to re-think their image of the aged, they may eliminate some of the fears younger people have of getting older. Most of what is known about aging and the aged is based on people born at the turn of the century, says Lonetto. They look at life differently than younger Canadians do: They are not as well educated and have never had the financial resources today's younger society has, yet they are generally more flexible and less dependent than are men and women in their 20s. As people get older their bodies do indeed begin to move more slowly. People have to learn to live with more limited physical abilities, says Lonetto, rather than allow the body to become a prison for a still active mind. He adds that the quality of life people will experience in later years depends on their present lifestyle. "If you are an active person during your 20s, 30s and 40s, there is no reason to believe that you won't re- main active in later life." Just hanging around Well folks, with winter howling away just around the corner, there's not too much time left for lazing around in the sun. This collection of kitties opted to lie around on the back porch soaking up Friday's golden rays. As far as summer tanning is concerned, it was their last kick at the cat. So to speak. .
