Human aging is perhaps the most complex and important subject that
will be facing science and societies in the next century. People
seem to be living longer and remaining more active than their
parents and grandparents, caused by to social and demographic
shifts that must be accommodated by society. On the other hand it
presents perplexing questions about the underlying processes and
determinants of healthy aging. This book gives a design for
research that will increase our understanding of the factors that
influence healthy aging and can lead to improvements in reducing
the levels of disability in the population. Its focus is on
bio-behavioural and psychological factors contributing to healthy
aging. Since human aging is determined by many interacting
conditions inside and outside of the organism, research should
concentrate on ecological relationships between the human organism
and its social and physical environment. Not only individual
characteristics associated with aging are discussed in this book,
but also their impacts on society. The information presented in
'Aging in Europe' has not been available in any single source
before. In many ways this book provides a model of gaining
knowledge through cooperation that should guide us in the next
century and beyond.
