About The LifeCurve™
Introduction to The LifeCurve™
Video transcript:
The LifeCurve illustrates how our bodies decline as we age.
Its based on scientific research highlighting 15 activities of daily living which become harder to perform as our bodies grow older.
Staying active, eating a balanced diet and doing more of what you love that's good for you all contribute to your progress on the LifeCurve.
If your body declines sooner you will need care for longer. If your body declines later, you will only require care in your final years.
Everyone's LifeCurve is different depending on the choices they make.
Staying on the optimum LifeCurve is your best chance of living independently for longer without the need for long term care.
To start your path to better ageing and to see where you are on The LifeCurve take the quiz now.
The LifeCurve™ is a tool developed by ADL Research and Newcastle University's Institute for Ageing to map age related functional decline
Specialists discovered that most of us age in a similar way, losing our everyday abilities one task at a time. When they plotted this decline on a graph, it clearly made a line: a line we call The LifeCurve™.
The great news is that those same specialists also discovered that the starting age and the speed of decline is largely down to us. With simple changes to our routines and lifestyles, we can control how well we age and stay in control for longer.
Success!
