Keys to Embracing Aging is a research-based curriculum developed by Extension professionals at Kansas State University, University of Arkansas, and University of Kentucky.

They demonstrate that each new year of life brings increased knowledge, wisdom, and a greater ability to engineer a positive approach to the aging process. Many centenarians contribute their longevity to a positive attitude, nutrition, physical activity, mental and social stimulation, staying in-tune with the times, safety, medical literacy, financial security, sleep, and taking time for oneself. When given the necessary attention, such lifestyle choices can positively affect future health, well-being and optimal aging.
