Description
Drawing from both European and North American experiences, this volume presents basic and applied research on ageing, health and behaviour. It points out the important role of individual behaviours, societal conditions and public policies for determining the health of older people today - and in the future. The contributors explore: the influence of age and ethnicity on health and behaviour; coping with chronic illness and disability; the effect of stress on illness; disease prevention and health promotion; and the implications for public policy. - from Amzon
