This book presents new insights into the consequences of the
impending growth in and impact of the older segment of Latino aging
adults across distinctive regions of the Americas. It uses a
comparative research framework to further understanding of current
issues in health and aging in the transnational context of the
health and migratory experiences of the U.S.- Mexican population.
It provides an important contribution to the interdisciplinary
investigation of chronic diseases and functional impairments,
social care and medical services, care-giving and intervention
development, and neighborhood factors supporting optimal aging,
using new conceptual and methodological approaches (inter-group
comparisons). Specifically, the chapters employ different
methodologies that investigate trends in aging health and services
related to immigration processes, family and household structure,
macroeconomic changes in the quality of community life, and focus
on the new realities of aging in Latino families in local
communities. The book focuses on measurement, data-quality issues,
new conceptual modeling techniques, and longitudinal survey
capabilities, and suggests needed areas of new research. As such it
is of interest to researchers and policy makers in a wide range of
disciplines from social and behavioral sciences to economics,
gerontology, geriatrics, and public health.
