The second report summarizes 201 surveys of Americans age 85+ years old and 202 surveys of adult children of Americans in this age group.

The study seeks to understand how the habits and behaviors from earlier in life played out in the later years of retirement. The research was conducted by Mathew Greenwald & Associates, Inc.
