More than 2.3 million Americans are now age 85 and older, and the
population total in this age group is steadily expanding. This book
brings together leading researchers to review current knowledge
about the demography, health, epidemiology and social status of the
oldest old. From discussions of the impact of Alzheimer's disease
to an examination of changing social and medical policies, this
book provides much needed information about this often neglected
but growing group.The special problems attendant to information
gathering among the oldest old, such as interviews and research,
are also addressed. Special intercultural perspectives inform
chapters on "The Black Oldest Old," and "Institutional Long-term
Care from an International Perspective." This is essential reading
for gerontologists, public health professionals, epidemiologists,
and policy makers. The book's broad scope enlarges our
understanding of the current needs of the oldest old, and indicates
areas of public concern.
