Abstract

This meta-analysis aimed to qualitatively analyze the different aspects of the successful aging (SA) criteria and quantitatively assess the rate of SA and its different dimensions among people aged ≥60 years globally to provide a basis for constructing criteria for SA.

Research summary

The paper addresses successful aging, which is a relevant aspect of longevity research as it pertains to the quality of life in older adults. However, the focus on qualitative analysis and the assessment of rates rather than interventions or mechanisms that could extend lifespan or address the root causes of aging limits its impact. The findings may contribute to understanding aging but do not significantly advance the field in a transformative way.
