Ethnic minorities represent a growing percentage of the elderly
population in the United States. Yet, the impact of aging on
minority groups and subgroups has only been partially studied. Now,
Minorities, Aging, and Health begins to fill the gap and open up
the debate on how to provide for the specific needs of an
increasingly diverse elderly population. In order to provide as
complete and current overview as possible, the contributors examine
a variety of populations, including Hispanics, Asian Americans,
Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans. Some specific issues
covered in this volume include: mortality and life expectancy, the
incidence of disease and disabilities, diet and nutrition, access
to health services and long-term care, and public health care
policy. This book is both timely and unique, thus making it a
welcome addition to the literature on aging for scholars and health
care professionals. It will be an invaluable resource in the fields
of gerontology, public health, ethnic studies, and nursing.
