Indigenous views of elderhood offer lessons on aging

A new study by researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa examines how Indigenous communities define elderhood, and how this role supports healthy aging. Led by Yu-Chi Kalesekes Huang and Kathryn Braun of the Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health, the research reviews 20 scholarly publications to shed light on how elders contribute to the well-being of their communities.
