Aging brings wrinkles, sagging bodies and frustrating forgetfulness. But getting older is not bad for many people. Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness. There is conflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down to this: The attitude is everything.

Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life. The big question is why seniors are happier. A recent study suggests one reason: Older adults remember the past through happy memories. Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society. The older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work.

But others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older.

"The notion that those in old age are happier is misleading," said Richard Easterlin, a professor of economics at the University of Southern California. "It is based on comparing people of different ages who are the same in terms of income, health and family life." Easterlin added, "When you take account of the fact that older people who have lower income than the younger are less healthy, and more likely to be living alone, then you will find it hard to accept that they are happier."

In fact, scientists have found that as people age, their health declines and social networks disappear as their friends die, which can make the elderly less happy.

Even if one does give in to age's dark side, health and happiness don't always go hand-in-hand. It's all about the attitude. Research by the University of Chicago's Yang suggests that the attitude to life and happiness is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness.

Despite the conflicting findings about aging and happiness, the good news is that there doesn't appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one's life. "Most people desire happiness" Easterlin said. "To my knowledge, no one has identified a limit to attainable happiness."
