Rowe and Kahn's (1987, 1998) model of successful aging (SA) implies a balance among: (1) low probability of disease and disease-related disability; (2) high cognitive and physical functioning; and (3) active engagement with life. This study assessed the relationship of age to the components of SA across the sixth, seventh and eighth decades of life in Canadian seniors ( N = 14,749). Age was a significant predictor of disease-related disability and impaired physical functioning, but age had little impact on engagement. Despite health-related changes, these data suggest that the majority of older Canadians are maintaining connections with their community
