There are individual and professional factors that have the
greatest impact on the preservation of work ability for people of
advanced age, and people with chronic health issues and
disabilities. This text examines the demographic trends in the
population and shows that proper functioning in their lives is only
possible if people are provided with appropriate psychosocial and
physical working conditions. This publication discusses
physiological changes that occur with age and influence work
performance. It presents the concept of applying the International
Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in order
to assess the work ability of people with disabilities. It shows,
using examples and case studies, that practical activities aimed at
appropriate working conditions for people of advanced age, and
people with health issues and disabilities, will have excellent
work ability. Features Presents a comprehensive approach to
workplace tolerance for people with health issues Offers an
innovated in-depth evaluation of the Work Ability Index (WAI)
Presents applying the International Classification of Functioning,
Disability and Health (ICF) to access the work ability of people
with disabilities Outlines actions that should be taken to maintain
work ability for people of advanced age or with disabilities
Provides real case studies and analysis. "Demographic changes,
especially those related to aging, belong to the main changes
occurring in the contemporary working environment. Thus, preserving
work ability in the older population as well as [populations with]
health concerns are among the most important challenges of today.
Accordingly, the monograph fits into the most recent issues of
[this] public health area, focusing on work ability in populations
at risk of social exclusion, also occupational exclusion. These are
older people, persons with chronic diseases and those with
different types of disabilities. In my opinion, highlighting the
problem of work ability in the context of aging by the authors, in
such a broad understanding, is extremely valuable and useful and
the presented research outcome is an authentic and very much
expected contribution to the discussion on this issue. The topic
has been thoroughly presented, which undoubtedly results from the
interdisciplinarity of the group of authors including specialists
in work physiology, physicians and physiotherapists. The monograph
provides a very measurable and reliable knowledge in this field.
Combining the theory with the presentation of the authors' research
outcomes is an unquestionable advantage of the monograph...".
