Generations
Fall 2006, Vol. 30, No. 3
Gregg Warshaw, guest editor The success of modern medicine at keeping more people alive into old age has led to new challenges in providing good care for the growing numbers of elders who live with chronic conditions. This issue of Generations examines the shift from acute illness as the focus of care for older people to a new focus on prevention, function, and well-being; reviews the most common chronic diseases and the latest advances and challenges in care; and offers a prognosis for an aging society.
