About this title

Synopsis

An award-winning Washington D.C. physician and health policy expert proves that the last third of life can be the best of all. Whether you're approaching middle age, or currently a senior citizen, or caring for someone in the last third of life, you'll find vital topics on how to identify, prevent, and manage the major physical and emotional health issues of life's third third. The latest and best research is presented in a positive yet realistic manner. Practical help comes in three ways. Part one treats the major diseases-heart, diabetes, and cancer-that are most likely to cause premature death. Part two covers common problems such as osteoporosis, hormone depletion, arthritis, and other conditions seniors face, and how to stay healthy and active while managing these. Part three suggests ways to continue a high-quality of life into the final stages and to treat death with meaning and dignity.
