One of the problems geriatricians are confronted with in everyday
clinical practice is differentiating disease from the process of old
age. The challenges of ageing require a better understanding of the
essential biology of ageing in order to separate ageing from disease,
and indeed ageing made worse by disease. Although the topic is large
and diverse, this practical and easy-to-read reference book contains
vital information on the biology of ageing. It provides a concise
understanding of the changes that occur and focuses on the clinical
implications of ageing. MCQs are featured throughout for revision and
examination practice. The Biology of Ageing provides the reader with: .
a learning guide on the biology of ageing through an overview of the
changes that occur at both cellular and system levels . knowledge of
how biological changes of ageing impact on physiology and the clinical
relevance in medical practice . a practical consideration of these
changes in disease presentations and how these changes may impact on
disease management. This full-colour guide featuring slides, MRIs,
figures and photographs is ideal for doctors training in geriatric
medicine, practising geriatricians and those with an interest in
management of older people.
