Taking
its title from the second 50 years of the human life span of about 100 years,
this book presents wide-ranging and practical recommendations for health
care providers, policymakers, and other sectors of society. These recommendations
range from setting new national policies to changing the way elderly patients
are interviewed in the doctor's office and from what exercises older persons
should do to how city planners should design our urban environment.
The
bulk of this volume presents the latest research on 13 major health threats
to the elderly, covering prevalence, impact on the older person's life, cost,
and intervention.
In addition, the authors provide a detailed analysis of why older people
often do not receive the benefit of prevention programs.
"This
readable volume is not only an excellent clinical resource, but also a fine
analysis of the evolution of health promotion." --Choice
"Covering every aspect of health care in later life, [The Second Fifty Years]
is an outstanding source book for health educationalists who should increasingly
be addressing the much neglected issues raised." --Journal of the Institute of Health Education
