Publisher's Note
The essential reference for all aging Americans and their families, and the most important, comprehensive, and useful guide of its kind ever published. Covers: how we age, how to make wise health-care decisions, alternatives for long-term care, and aging and public policy.
With advances in medicine and technology, we are now living longer than ever. To enjoy all of our later years in the best possible health, we need to understand the aging process and how it affects our health care. The American Geriatrics Society's Complete Guide to Aging & Health provides us with helpful information on how to most successfully manage our care decisions. The American Geriatrics Society is the nation's oldest professional medical association devoted solely to the special health care needs and concerns of older adults. This comprehensive resource includes invaluable and expert advice for those of us who want to prepare ourselves for a healthy old age as well as for those of us who are involved in the care of older friends, family members, and loved ones. Information on how specific diseases and conditions may progress is also included. And you'll find straight talk on long-term care, along with helpful suggestions for evaluating the options. The American Geriatrics Society's Complete Guide to Aging & Health also reviews important information about the sensitive ethical and legal issues surrounding a patient's rights, as well as the basics on financing health care.

Industry reviews
Personal responsibility, a reverence for growing older, and practical information on medical concerns are advocated in this handbook. Williams, a leading gerontologist, examines various medical conditions within the broader context of how aging occurs, looks at the decison-making process (i.e., choosing a doctor, considering alternatives for long-term care, etc.), and discusses the policy arena. The excellent organization of chapter material with the appropriate use of charts complements the author's text. A resource listing provides contacts to meet clinical care needs. Complementing H. Winter Griffith's Complete Guide to Symptoms, Illness & Surgery for People Over 50 (LJ 6/15/92), this is truly an enjoyable, easy-to-read guide in tune with current medical philosophy and practice. A worthy purchase for health collections in public or special libraries. Linda Malone, DePaul Medical Ctr., Norfolk, Va.
Merullo 

Well-organized and thoughtfully written, this hefty handbook on aging is worth its weight in gold. Williams, a gerontologist and director of University of North Carolina's Program on Aging, addresses the myriad health-related concerns of elders, their families and caregivers. The first section covers the normal aging process, including a discussion of preventive care. Next is a discussion of health-care decision making from the basics of choosing a doctor to the specifics of how older people tolerate multiple medications. A third section deals with increasingly complex ethical and legal issues and health-care financing. The last part, comprising more than half of the book, describes specific health-related conditions (e.g., neurological, psychological, respiratory, circulatory, etc.) of aging, including symptoms, causes and treatment or management. This comprehensive, easy-to-read volume will be an invaluable reference for the nation's growing population of elders. Author tour. (Apr.)
Bernstein 

A guide to the special health care needs and concerns of older adults, with advice for preparing for a healthy old age and caring for elderly family members, as well as information on specific diseases and conditions in sections on neurological, blood, and digestive disorders, and nutrition. Includes chapters and health care decisions and legal, ethical, and financial considerations, plus a list of useful organizations. Illustrated with tasteful b&w drawings.
