Radio: Most people over 50 think they're likely to be healthier and more acJve in reJrement than their parents were. That's what people said in a poll conducted by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson FoundaJon and the Harvard School of Public Health. But people may be wrong. Some experts worry that the generaJon now approaching reJrement may actually be less healthy in old age and that could have serious financial consequences for the naJon as a whole. NPR's Julie Rovner reports.
JULIE ROVNER: If you want to see what it means to live a long and acJve life, look no further than the rec room at the Greenspring Village ReJrement Community in Springfield, Virginia.
(SOUNDBITE OF VIDEO GAME)
ROVNER: This is the Wii bowling compeJJon for the Northern Virginia Senior Olympics. Up now, the 80 to 99 age group. Given these compeJtors' age, organizers are making a few accommodaJons.

Web: Most baby boomers say they're planning on an acJve and healthy reJrement, according to a new poll conducted by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson FoundaJon and the Harvard School of Public Health. And, in a switch from earlier years, more than two-‐ thirds recognize the threat of long-‐term care expenses to their financial futures.
But some experts worry that when it comes to their health, boomers are sJll woefully unprepared — or worse, in denial.
"The mismatch between how people think the next 10 to 15 years is going to go and what current reJrees experience is something that's very consistent," says Jeff Goldsmith, a health care futurist and author of The Long Baby Boom: An Op2mis2c Vision for a Graying Genera2on, a book about aging baby boomers. "There is no quesJon that one disJnguishing feature of our generaJon is this extraordinary, almost geneJc opJmism. And the poll results look to me like a lot of that opJmism was drawn from a deep well of self-‐delusion."
