Book Description
This book provides medical information for older adults and their caregivers. People are living longer. According to the National Institute on Aging, the average life expectancy in 1970 was 70.8 years; in 2000, it was 76.9 years. By 2030, it is estimated there may be 10 million people age 85 and older. Views on aging are also changing. Aging no longer necessarily means physical decline and illness. In the last two decades, the rate of disability among older people has declined dramatically. There are many myths and much misinformation about aging. Written by a geriatric specialist, this book educates readers about the specialty of geriatric medicine, helping them understand what true geriatric care is and what it can do for older adults. The book opens with a comparison of scientifically sound geriatric medicine as compared to its arch rival, the "anti-aging business." It goes on to discuss the most important medical issues an older adult will face, explaining them in layman's terms and through the use of case examples. Full of advice, humor, and suggestions pertaining to each issue discussed, this volume will help older adults and their children and caregivers better navigate the increasingly complex medical options older adults now face.
