内容説明
The elderly population continues to grow at a swift rate - in 2000 there were more than 35 million people in the U.S. over the age of 65, and this number is set to double by the year 2030. Various social, medical, ethical, and philosophical issues raised by this burgeoning group affect, directly or indirectly, the entire world population. The Encyclopedia of Senior Health and Well-Being is a new single-volume reference that brings the key issues together in a readable format. This book examines issues primarily in the U.S., but it also includes data from other countries and discusses societal differences to provide a global view of the subject. Unlike other volumes on the topic that focus heavily on medical issues and issues of the middle-aged populace attempting to fight aging. The Encyclopedia of Senior Health and Well-Being offers a comprehensive and focused treatment on elder issues alone. It includes extensive appendixes and resources. Topics covered include population increases and shifts; global aging; housing, transportation, medical and health issues; ethnic concerns; caregivers; legal issues; abuse and neglect; psychological issues; costs; and much more.
