The Evolution of Aging Perceptions
Aging is increasingly viewed through the lens of societal obsession with age, which has intensified over time. This fixation on age impacts our understanding of responsibilities and the expectations we place on ourselves and others regarding health. The podcast explores how the concept of age was less significant in the past, with an example from the early 1800s when knowing someone’s age was not a common practice. Today, this preoccupation with age often leads to a sense of individual responsibility for health outcomes, creating pressure that can detract from broader public health initiatives.
