Zusammenfassung: | What exactly is human ageing? Can it be slowed down? These questions have puzzled scientists and laymen alike for generations, and continue to do so today. The author addresses these thought-provoking issues by challenging pre-conceived notions of age-perception, age-acceptance and inter-age relations. Pertinent matters of age-related communication are dealt with, and the reader is treated to a grand tour of the latest theories of ageing, age-related biological changes and age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease. Here, the author's expertise in age-related eye diseases truly comes into its own. Weale's unique work not only underlines important genetic and avoidable risk factors but gives ample consideration to possible consequences stemming from different early lifestyles. Readers will re-consider their ideas of what it means to age, and gain a better understanding of what can and cannot slow down the process of ageing. |

Here, the author's expertise in age-related eye diseases truly comes into its own. Weale's unique work not only underlines important genetic and avoidable risk factors but gives ample consideration to possible consequences stemming from different early lifestyles. Readers will re-consider their ideas of what it means to age, and gain a better understanding of what can and cannot slow down the process of ageing.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Longevity.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85078286</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Aging</subfield><subfield code="x">Prevention.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh98002534</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Health.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85059518</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Longevity</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008136</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Health</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006262</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Longévité.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Vieillissement</subfield><subfield code="x">Prévention.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Santé.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">health.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">MEDICAL</subfield><subfield code="x">Reproductive Medicine & Technology.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Aging</subfield><subfield code="x">Prevention</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Health</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Longevity</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Youth prolonged (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGjWKpTdCvQmPDPmFTwCry</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Weale, R.A.

What exactly is human ageing? Can it be slowed down? These questions have puzzled scientists and laymen alike for generations, and continue to do so today. The author addresses these thought-provoking issues by challenging pre-conceived notions of age-perception, age-acceptance and inter-age relations. Pertinent matters of age-related communication are dealt with, and the reader is treated to a grand tour of the latest theories of ageing, age-related biological changes and age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease. Here, the author's expertise in age-related eye diseases truly comes into its own. Weale's unique work not only underlines important genetic and avoidable risk factors but gives ample consideration to possible consequences stemming from different early lifestyles. Readers will re-consider their ideas of what it means to age, and gain a better understanding of what can and cannot slow down the process of ageing. Print version record. English.
