How Healthy Are We? : A National Study of Well-Being at Midlife Hardback
Edited by Orville Gilbert Brim, Carol D. Ryff, Ronald C. Kessler
Part of the John D & C T Macarthur FNDTN Ser Mental Health/DEV MF series
Hardback
Description
How physically and psychologically healthy are Americans at midlife? And why do some experience greater well-being than others?
The MacArthur Foundation addressed these questions head-on by funding a landmark study known as "Midlife in the U.S." (MIDUS). "How Healthy Are We?" presents the key findings from the survey in three sections: physical health, quality of life and psychological well-being, and the contexts of midlife.
This wide-ranging study measures not only health - the absence of illness - but also reports on the presence of wellness in middle-aged Americans.
Researchers, policymakers, and others concerned with the quality of midlife will welcome its insights.
