This latest edition has been thoroughly updated to present new research findings that differentiate ""normal"" aging from actual pathology. It provides new data and guidelines on risk factors, nutrition, preventive measures, interventions, and commonly prescribed medications, and includes expanded treatment of complementary and alternative therapies. The book emphasises the positive aspects of aging and demonstrates how the elderly population can gain greater personal control, through lifestyle changes and preventative health strategies, toward the goal of optimal aging. The book also includes an updated discussion of grief, ethical issues, and funeral options. Written for students of gerontology, social work, human services, nursing. occupational and physical therapy, counselling, and elder law, it presents information that is clearly understandable for those without an extensive background in biology or medicine. The book reinforces information with practical applications of aging data.
This sixth edition includes new information on:
- Genetic/DNA theories
- Dementia and Parkinson's Disease
- Immunotherapy
- Lifelong health disparities
- Pet-assisted therapy
- Prayer and meditation
- Pharmacogenetics
- Gerogogy (self-directed learning)
- health as public health issue
- Natural funerals (biodegradable caskets, burial urns, dying at home)
