Health & Aging Manual

The importance of understanding the physical aging process for anyone working with the elderly cannot be over-emphasized. It is crucial to have knowledge of how the body ages, what the normal bodily changes are that accompany the aging process, what are some of the common health disorders which impact on the elderly and how these disorders are manifested, identified and treated.

The Health and Aging manual provides this information in language intended for the non-medical professional. However, it can also serve as a valuable resource for those individuals not specifically trained in geriatric medicine. It reviews each body system identifying how the aging process affects this system and highlighting some of the major diseases of the system.
