This report examines those perspectives and identifies ways to promote aging well across different demographics among community-dwelling older adults. Participants’ level of successful aging was measured using 12 questions that assess factors related to healthy lifestyle, engagement in social and productive activities, and coping and resilience. ## AMONG THE FINDINGS: - Across groups, participants reported feeling generally positive about their well-being with relatively high perceptions of aging well.  - Successful aging tended to be greater among Black/African American respondents and lower among South Asian Americans. - Black/African American respondents reported greater healthy lifestyles than all other groups, and South Asian American respondents were statistically lower than all groups except White/Non-Hispanic respondents.    [Download Report](https://information.matherinstitute.com/aging-well-across-cultures#form_section_1) ![GettyImages-1268388280_cropped](https://information.matherinstitute.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GettyImages-1268388280_cropped.jpg?width=1400&height=1288&name=GettyImages-1268388280_cropped.jpg) ![MI_PromisingPracticeAwards2023Cover-1](https://information.matherinstitute.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MI_PromisingPracticeAwards2023Cover-1.jpg?width=2000&height=1294&name=MI_PromisingPracticeAwards2023Cover-1.jpg "MI_PromisingPracticeAwards2023Cover-1") ###### DOWNLOAD YOUR COPY OF THIS INDUSTRY REPORT: ## PROMISING PRACTICES AWARDS 2023: ###### 7 Organizations That Are Reshaping the Aging Services Industry [Mather Institute](https://www.matherinstitute.com/) 1560 Sherman Avenue Suite 1010 Evanston, IL 60201 [(888) 722.6468](tel:+18887226468) - [Free Industry Information](https://www.matherinstitute.com/free-industry-information/) - [Person-Centric Wellness Model](https://www.matherinstitute.com/person-centric-wellness-model/) - [Age Well Study](https://www.matherinstitute.com/agewellstudy/) - [Contact Us](https://www.matherinstitute.com/contact-us/) [(888) 722.6468](tel:+18887226468) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.matherinstitute.com/privacy-policy/) - [Your Privacy Choices](https://www.matherinstitute.com/privacy-center/) - [Notice of Privacy Practices](https://www.matherinstitute.com/notice-of-privacy-practices/) - [Indirect Cost Policy](https://www.matherinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Mather-Indirect-Cost-Policy_FNL.pdf) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/matheragewell/) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/matheragewell) [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/matherlifeways/) [![Mather](https://www.matherinstitute.com/wp-content/themes/mlia/images/logo_mather_be_nextraordinary.png) ![Est. in 1942](https://www.matherinstitute.com/wp-content/themes/mlia/images/logo_est_in_1941.png)](https://www.mather.com/) 1560 Sherman Avenue, Suite 1010 Evanston, IL 60201 [(847) 492.7500](tel:+18474927500) [(847) 492.6789](fax:+18474926789) - [Programs](https://www.mather.com/neighborhood-programs) - [Residences](https://www.mather.com/residences/) - [Mather Institute](https://matherinstitute.com/) - [Jobs](https://www.mather.com/jobs/) © Copyright 2026 Mather [Notice of Privacy Practices](https://www.mather.com/notice-of-privacy-practices/)
