理解残疾和老龄化的复杂轨迹需要一种生物心理社会方法，在成年后期的更广泛背景下考虑残疾问题。虽然残疾服务研究人员和老年学家有许多共同的兴趣和相似的使命，但这些领域彼此相对较新，历史上几乎没有互动。本文的目的是增加和改善这些领域的调查人员之间的合作，提供一些背景的社会老年学的残疾研究人员，并通过应用关键的老龄化理论的问题，身体残疾的增长。本文讨论了老年人的特殊问题领域，包括社会支持，并讨论了老龄化和残疾的平行悖论。
Understanding the complex trajectories of disability and aging requires a biopsychosocial approach that considers disability in the broader context of later adulthood. Although disability service researchers and gerontologists have many shared interests and a similar mission, the fields are relatively new to one another and have had little historical interaction. The purpose of this article is to increase and improve collaboration among investigators in these fields by providing some background in social gerontology to the disability researcher, and by applying key theories in aging to the issue of growing older with physical disability. The article discusses particular problem areas for older adults, including social support, and also discusses the parallel paradoxes of aging and disability.
