Consistent with Neugarten’s prediction, references to the “life span” and 13 especially “life course” in research on aging have risen significantly in the last decade. Still, more attention to the life course will not likely bring the end of gerontology—though it will transform the field as we know it, and there is strong evidence that such transformations are under way. Too exclusive a focus on old age, or any particular life period for that matter, loses what is best in lifecourse research: a dynamic and processbased approach to understanding trajectories and transitions for individuals and cohorts as they grow up and older.
