A dramatic shift in the average age of the U.S. population and the
increasing number of elderly Americans has introduced new and
challenging healthcare dilemmas. This book addresses these issues
with contributed chapters by the leading authorities in the field
of behavioral medicine. It deals with health and healthcare needs
of the elderly by considering basic changes that result from aging
and some of the more specific problems that accompany it.
Content highlights include a review of the basic tenets of
genetics and molecular biology including some of the methods of
looking at heritable differences in health and well-being. Quality
of life concerns are addressed, including the differences between
men and women, as well as other gender issues. Several chapters
deal with the effects of aging on immunity. The latter part of the
book emphasizes the psychosocial implications of aging on
cardiovascular disease. Chronic illness among the elderly is also
addressed.
