| Summary: | This book informs on the present state of various topics in experimental and clinical gerontology. It is based on a symposium which focused on aging processes at the molecular, cellular, organ and organism level. Specific topics included aging processes of DNA, connective tissue, fibroblasts, liver, red cells, the heart, and the brain and the influence of nutrition and drugs on it. The contributions point to the need for continued research on all aspects of aging; another critical issue is the cost effectiveness of medical and health care programs for the elderly. |
