Gerontogeriatric essays - Leonardo Strejilevich - Bog

"Gerontogeriatric Essays" adds new insights into the problems of aging of people individually and in the society in which they live. Older adults are in themselves a biopsychosocial, cultural, economic and political complex. The demographic explosion of the elderly is an irreversible and growing phenomenon, and it goes without saying that the duty of states and societies to provide all the means and instruments to support, care for, cure, rehabilitate and respect them, regardless of their ethnic, religious, socio-cultural and socio-economic condition or identity, is unrenounceable. The ultimate meaning of these essays is to show, once again, real aspects of the multidimensional world of old age in order to understand it and to commit, support and sustain their welfare in the last stage of life.
