AB By  now  it  should  be  clear  that  different  professions  conceptualize  elements  of  later  life  through  different  lenses.  In  particular,  the  meaning  of  function  differs,  with  implications  for  evaluation  and  intervention  to  support  well-being.  Biologists  emphasize  the  function  of  anatomical  structures  and  physiological  processes.  Sociologists  focus  on  function  in  social,  cultural,  and  environmental  contexts.  Occupational  therapists  and  physical  therapists  define  function  as  ability  to  accomplish  those  activities  that  individuals,  families,  and  communities  need  and  want  to  do.
