More than half of Canadians over the age of 50 are feeling positive about aging, according to a new national survey, but those who are struggling financially or have poor health were far more likely to struggle with their expectations of aging.

The National Institute on Ageing (NIA) partnered with the Environics Institute for Survey Research to ask 5,885 Canadians aged 50 and older about their experiences with and their expectations of aging.

 Dr. Samir Sinha, the Director of Health Policy Research at the National Institute on Ageing joins Patricia Boal to talk about the study's findings.
