Book Description
Según los especialistas tenemos tres edades: la cronológica, que viene marcada por la fecha de nacimiento; la biológica, determinada en general por el estado de salud y el aspecto externo, y la emocional, marcada por la actitud vital. Por esto, en cuestión de estilos de vida, hay que entender más de las edades biológicas y emocionales que de las cronológicas que, lógicamente, en países desarrollados y con grandes expectativas de vida, se encuentran totalmente desfasadas. El concepto de vejez cambia y, el mercado, las empresas y los medios de comunicación también han cambiado para a atender las nuevas demandas (los viejos consumen en función de la edad que sienten, no de la que tienen). No hay más que observar la publicidad, para ver que los mensajes han sufrido una gran transformación; el nuevo mensaje publicitario se lanza en positivo mostrando a los viejos con una vida abierta, rica, apasionada y apasionante. La prolongación de la vida, prolonga también su participación en el consumo y en el ocio, transformándolos en un colectivo que gasta, viaja y vive de forma activa. Envejecer es, en cierto sentido, algo subjetivo y está condicionado por factores socioculturales. La teoría de envejecer con éxito consiste en mantener una actitud positiva, vitalista, abierta, que no sólo rejuvenece el espíritu, sino también el cuerpo. Como no se puede modificar el paso del tiempo, se trata de aprender a ganar en calidad de vida el máximo número de años, retrasando el todo lo posible la llegada de las enfermedades y la dependencia. Pero, ¿cómo conseguir envejecer con éxito? Adoptando un estilo de vida saludable mediante una alimentación sana, que en este país se correspondería con la dieta mediterránea, el ejercicio físico y la actividad social e intelectual.

Leisure experiences, opportunities and contributions to human development
Author: María Jesús Monteagudo
Publisher: Universidad de Deusto
ISBN: 8416982449
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
The new human development paradigm rests on the human and cultural capital of peoples and revolves around the challenge of increasing the well-being and happiness of people. Therefore, leisure understood in today’s societies as one of the key means to feel good, satisfied with life and reaffirmed in the pursuit of a meaning for life, seems to be ultimately called to play a key role in promoting human development processes. The contents of this book are a good proof of it. Each chapter focuses on a different approach, discipline or group and highlights the potential of leisure experiences for human development. This book is an invitation to reflection and thought on issues that, far from being irrelevant, have a bearing on people's future, in terms of happiness, well-being and quality of life. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that future leisure develops under the guidelines of a leisure that contributes to human development.

Cognitive Rehabilitation in Old Age
Author: Robert D. Hill
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198028164
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Cognitive deficits are part of the normal aging process and are exacerbated by various diseases that affect adults in old age, such as dementia, depression, and stroke. A significant scientific and social effort has been expended to evaluate whether cognitive deficits can be remedied through systematic interventions. The editors, as well as the chapter authors, represent a variety of viewpoints that span theory as well as practice. Overall, they aim to address concepts in cognitive rehabilitation that are useful in intervention research -- research which examines problems and issues in normal and pathological aging -- and focusing on the application of cognitive training strategies in natural settings. Thus, the book is grounded in contemporary theory in cognitive aging and is applicable to both the practicing clinician as well as the researcher. It is organized into four sections. The first highlights prominent theoretical principles; the second looks at cognitive rehabilitation strategies in normal aging; the third examines the interplay between lifestyle patterns and cognitive function through applying a broad definition of lifestyle choices; and the fourth focuses on rehabilitation strategies that address issues in pathological (or diseased) aging.

Tackling Chronic Disease in Europe
Author: Reinhard Busse
Publisher: WHO Regional Office Europe
ISBN: 9289041927
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
Chronic conditions and diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe, accounting for 86% of total premature deaths, and research suggests that complex conditions such as diabetes and depression will impose an even greater health burden in the future - and not only for the rich and elderly in high-income countries, but increasingly for the poor as well as low- and middle-income countries. The epidemiologic and economic analyses in the first part of the book suggest that policy-makers should make chronic disease a priority. This book highlights the issues and focuses on the strategies and interventions that policy-makers have at their disposal to tackle this increasing challenge. Strategic discussed in the second part of this volume include (1) prevention and early detection, (2) new provider qualifications (e.g. nurse practitioners) and settings, (3) disease management programmes and (4) integrated care models. But choosing the right strategies will be difficult, particularly given the limited evidence on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. In the third part, the book therefore outlines and discusses institutional and organizational challenges for policy-makers and managers: (1) stimulating the development of new effective pharmaceuticals and medical devices, (2) designing appropriate financial incentives, (3) improving coordination, (4) using information and communication technology, and (5) ensuring evaluation. To tackle these challenges successfully, key policy recommendations are made.
