Happiness Matters in Aging with a Disability
Dawn Ehde presented a poster looking at happiness at the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) annual scientific meeting. Dr. Ehde found people aging with a physical disability despite worsening physical function, higher levels of pain and fatigue rated their happiness about the same as people aging without a disability. Also, happiness ratings were higher in people who were 65 or older.
