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.
