Abstract: Although older adults comprise the most rapidly growing segment of the American population, research on aging in Appalachia is surprisingly limited. For this reason, we take this opportunity to consider aging and the life course in an Appalachian context beginning from what is known, and elaborating on it as a way of identifying potentially fruitful knowledge gaps and future directions. Often, average figures mask more complex ways in which the Appalachian and non-Appalachian regions differ, many of which have implications for our understanding of aging and the life course.
