摘要
我们当中有多少人曾经希望有一本可靠的、有事实为依据的衰老指南来解释身体和思想如何随着年龄的增长而变化,以及如何适应这些变化。虽然人们在晚年生活中会体验到一些常见的生理问题,但这些问题并非遵循一个标识清楚、且预先设定的发展轨迹出现“可预测的变化会发生,但不见得是在同一时间、或按相同的顺序发生,”纽约市西奈山伊坎医学院布鲁克代尔老年病学与舒缓医学科的教育组副主席罗珊·莱比锡说,“没有比老年人更多样化的群体了。”
How many of us have wanted a reliable,evidence-based guide to aging that explains how our bodies and minds change as we grow older and how to adapt to those differences?While people experience common physiological issues in later life,they don't follow a well-charted,developmentally predetermined path.
