Description
An interdisciplinary contribution to the study of aging, health, and behavior, this volume clarifies how physical changes in cells, organ systems, and entire bodies are linked to changes in behavior patterns, social structures, and cultural values and mores. Each paper stimulates new approaches to the understanding of how aging processes, both biological and psychosocial, affect health.
