This book reviews the elder care literature pertaining to the Arab
world and proposes steps that can be taken to improve the health
and quality of life of older people in this region. Organized in
three main sections (Program Assessment, Program Planning,
Conclusions and Recommendations), the book addresses such topics as
developing a conceptual framework; Arab world elder demographics;
quality of life issues; demand for services; training issues;
training capacity and capabilities; and conclusions and
recommendations for improving the health of older persons in the
Arab world. While the countries of the Arab world have the
advantage of a unified language and culture that can be used to
expedite development of area-wide approaches to a system of elder
care, the lack of economic and political unification (such as
common market and open trade) along with institutionalized age
discrimination (some Arab countries restrict hiring for government
and private jobs to persons younger than 45) present barriers to
improving the health of older people. In addition, modernization
and ease of transportation have resulted in a heavy focus on
Western-style fast food, with an accompanying increase in chronic
diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
and cancer.
