Abstract
Successful aging refers to optimal functioning in such domains as physical and cognitive health, and further includes the subjective perception of aging well.1 Exposure to traumatic events, and particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, may hamper successful aging.2 This study examined whether maintaining a youthful age identity3 may mitigate the effect of PTSD symptoms on successful aging.
