Summary
Colin Milner, founder and CEO of the International Council on Active Aging, to discuss creating a true culture of active aging. Colin defines active aging as being actively engaged in life, grounded in a whole-person wellness model that goes beyond physical fitness to include mind, spirit, environment, purpose, and connection. We address persistent ageism in wellness and senior living, including “bubble-wrapping” older adults with overly cautious programming, and emphasize using research and education to change assumptions about capability and improvement even into late life. Colin describes what an age-friendly culture looks like—autonomy, agency, inclusion, empathy, and community access for all ages—and shares future-focused insights on personalization, precision, genetics, technology, and closing the 12.4-year gap between lifespan and healthspan, stressing that HI—human intelligence and interconnection—remains central.
