Aging Quiz: Separate Fact from Fiction
How Much Do You Know About the Aging Process?

By , About.com Guide

Aging is a fact of life, but many of our worst fears about aging are based on myths and false assumptions.

How much do you really know about aging? What is inevitable, and what is avoidable, when it comes to aging? Can one’s golden years be truly golden, or is aging just a long and inescapable decline into disability and dependence?

The staff of the Mayo Clinic prepared an interactive quiz to help you separate aging facts from fiction, and to test your knowledge of aging—and what you really can expect as you grow older.

The aging quiz is fun and doesn’t take long – there are only 10 questions to answer – and you may be surprised by how much you learn about the truth of aging.
