Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
The average age of the world's population is increasing at an unprecedented rate and
this increase is changing the world. This 'silver tsunami' emphasizes the need to
provide advanced training in epidemiology and increase the cadre of experts in the
study of aging. This book is designed to summarize unique methodological issues relevant
to the study of aging, biomarkers of aging and the biology/physiology of aging and
in-depth discussions of the etiology and epidemiology of common geriatric syndromes
and diseases. Contributing authors in the book represent many disciplines, not only
epidemiology and clinical geriatrics, but also demography, health services, research,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, psychiatry, neurology, social services, musculoskeletal
diseases and cancer. The aim of the book is to provide a broad multidisciplinary background
for any student/researcher interested in aging. The material in the book is organized
and comprehensive. It represents the most up-to-date information on the scientific
issues in aging research written by academics who specialize in research and training
in the broad field of aging. The structure and organization of the book reflects our
course series in the Epidemiology of Aging starting with the broad issues of demography
and methodology, and then addressing specific health conditions and geriatric conditions
common to older persons
