Launched in 1976 by President Gerald Ford, this annual observance highlights the importance of helping older adults stay active, connected and engaged in community and social life. The 2026 theme, <strong>\u201c<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/acl.gov\/news-and-events\/announcements\/older-americans-month-2026-theme-champion-your-health\">Champion Your Health<\/a>,<strong>\u201d<\/strong> emphasizes prevention, wellness and empowering people to take an active role in managing and advocating for their health.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the millennium, about 35 million Americans were age 65 or older. By 2040, that number <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urban.org\/policy-centers\/cross-center-initiatives\/program-retirement-policy\/projects\/data-warehouse\/what-future-holds\/us-population-aging\">is expected<\/a> to exceed 80 million, including roughly 15 million people age 85 or older. Even among the very oldest Americans, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/products\/databriefs\/db233.htm\">centenarians increased by nearly 50 percent between 2000 and 2014<\/a>. These demographic shifts underscore the growing importance of research, policies and daily practices that support healthy aging.<\/p>\n<p>At the University of Washington, the <a href=\"https:\/\/halo.dlmp.uw.edu\/\">Healthy Aging and Longevity Research (HALO) Institute<\/a> is helping lead this work. Housed in the School of Medicine and founded by Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, HALO\u2019s mission is \u201cto enhance understanding of the biological mechanisms of aging in order to promote healthy longevity.\u201d That emphasis on healthy longevity matters. Extending how long people live only has value if those added years are lived in good health. For this reason, Dr. Kaeberlein often emphasizes \u201cmaximizing healthspan\u201d rather than lifespan.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/cfd\/community-connections\/lunch-learn\/\"><em>Related: Join us for a Lunch &amp; Learn on Active Aging \u2013 Engagement and Resources<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Maintain and improve health while aging<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nia.nih.gov\/health\/healthy-aging\/what-do-we-know-about-healthy-aging\">recommends several practical ways<\/a> to support health and quality of life as we age:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Exercise:<\/strong> Staying physically active can reduce overall risk of death from many causes while preserving muscle mass and lowering the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food and drink:<\/strong> Small changes in eating habits can lead to meaningful health benefits. Research supports Mediterranean-style diets and moderating alcohol intake, while even simple habits like eating green leafy vegetables have been linked to slower cognitive decline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sleep:<\/strong> Older and younger adults generally need the same amount of sleep, yet seniors often struggle due to pain or illness. Chronic sleep deprivation has been linked to numerous health concerns, including an increased risk of dementia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mental health:<\/strong> Loneliness and social isolation are associated with higher risks of heart disease, depression and cognitive decline. Remaining socially active can be protective. The activity itself matters less than participation, leaving room for hobbies, clubs, faith-based or community organizations, sports, arts and education. One example is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/registrar.washington.edu\/register\/access\/\">UW Access program<\/a><\/strong>, which allows Washington state residents age 60 or older to audit up to two UW classes per quarter for a nominal fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seeing a doctor:<\/strong> Regular checkups help catch illnesses early and identify risk factors for chronic conditions before they become more serious.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4327 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/cfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/11\/AdobeStock_269988776-1024x683-1-e1669758755103-539x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"539\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/cfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/11\/AdobeStock_269988776-1024x683-1-e1669758755103-539x300.jpeg 539w, https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/cfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/11\/AdobeStock_269988776-1024x683-1-e1669758755103-900x501.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/cfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/11\/AdobeStock_269988776-1024x683-1-e1669758755103-768x428.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/cfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/11\/AdobeStock_269988776-1024x683-1-e1669758755103-375x209.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/cfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/11\/AdobeStock_269988776-1024x683-1-e1669758755103-750x417.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/cfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/11\/AdobeStock_269988776-1024x683-1-e1669758755103.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/>Ways to support seniors\u2019 independence<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Preventing social isolation is essential to older adults\u2019 mental and physical well-being and is central to the mission of many senior centers. Researchers have long documented the health benefits of social capital, the networks and relationships that foster trust, connection and participation.<\/p>\n<p>These connections become especially important as people age, since health challenges and social networks may change over time. <a href=\"https:\/\/soundgenerations.org\/get-involved\/volunteer\/\">Volunteering<\/a> offers one meaningful way for older adults to maintain social capital while supporting causes they care about. Many seniors also participate in advocacy work through local senior centers.<\/p>\n<p>Technology can present another barrier. For those who feel uncertain or intimidated, extra support can make a difference. Many senior centers offer free programs designed to build confidence and skills with technology, helping older adults stay connected and independent. There are also <a href=\"https:\/\/seniorplanet.org\/\">online programs<\/a> to help build tech confidence.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Get a move on<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Physical activity is a key factor in maintaining independence. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/physical-activity-basics\/health-benefits\/older-adults.html\">the CDC<\/a>, regular exercise can help prevent disease, reduce fall risk, improve cognitive function and support emotional well-being in older adults. Family members and community members can help by offering encouragement, sharing information and spending time together, for example by walking or exercising side by side.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Everything is better with a friend<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Senior centers are wonderful places to stay active while building new friendships. In addition to offerings like Tai Chi, yoga, aerobics and Zumba, many centers partner with evidence-based programs such as SilverSneakers and Active Older Adults (AOA) that are proven to support better health outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Staying connected also means checking in often. Calling, visiting and offering rides when needed can make a meaningful difference, especially for those who no longer drive. Many senior centers provide transportation to medical appointments, grocery stores and center activities either for free or at low cost.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/physical-activity-basics\/health-benefits\/older-adults.html\">Aging is a shared human experience<\/a>, though it looks different for everyone. Genetics play a role, along with socioeconomic, racial and gender factors. Even so, the relatively simple practices outlined above have been shown to support well-being, improve health and reduce risks for chronic conditions. And for those for whom older age still feels distant, these same lifestyle choices can improve health and quality of life at any stage.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Other Ways to Help<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Senior centers and organizations rely on donor support to keep their programs running. Consider volunteering at or <a href=\"https:\/\/give.wa.gov\/mycfd\/\">setting up payroll deduction<\/a> through the UWCFD for one of our member organizations to support healthy aging.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting a nonprofit in your community or on campus is simple and meaningful. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/give.wa.gov\/search\">make a one-time gift or set up an ongoing payroll deduction<\/a> through the UW Combined Fund Drive (UWCFD). Search by charity name or by the type of work they do to find a cause that resonates with you.<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t find the organization you\u2019re looking for? We\u2019re here to help!
