Life expectancy increased by 20 years without the financial security to thrive

Retirement security is increasingly fragile for millions of older adults. Longer lifespans are widening the savings gap, forcing seniors to make choices that can harm their longevity.

A growing number of older adults are experiencing loneliness

Loneliness and isolation, well-documented health factors, increase risks for heart disease, depression, cognitive decline, weakened immunity, and even earlier mortality.

One in four adults is a caregiver, an increase of 31% in less than 10 years

What often begins as a short-term solution can evolve into a long-term reality that affects a caregiver’s work, family life, emotional well-being, and financial stability.

We Are Living Longer. But Are We Aging Better?

The Longevity Paradox

Longer lives are creating new challenges for seniors and the people who love them. This is changing what it means to age in America.

While lifespan has expanded, the systems designed to support aging have not kept pace.

Two-thirds of older adults depend on Social Security for more than half of their income.
Loneliness triggers a dangerous downward spiral that changes how aging happens.
As resources shrink, families are absorbing the gap. This shift is reshaping family life.

We Don’t Just Study Aging. We Live It Every Day.
