Whatever is the world coming to? Eighty-year-olds are running the
Marathon. Card shop are selling birthday greeting cards for
100-year-olds. A physician asks his octogenarian patient if his
parents are still living. There is an increasing number of
grandchildren who are upwards of 50 years of age. And on and on and
on. These days when a statistic regarding life expectancy is
announced it becomes obsolete almost immediately. The oldest of the
old are not only here to stay, but in increasingly larger numbers.
This book is concerned essentially with the behaviours, needs and
interests and other important factors in the lives of those in the
upper age ranges. It is hoped that the information will be useful
In helping them to live a longer and livelier life. This does not
mean that it is restricted reading only for older adults. Younger
persons will also have an interest as it relates not only to older
loved ones but to their own future as well.
