Moreover, the rapidly growing population of seniors does not want to settle for just getting oldseniors want to be physically and emotionally healthy, active, and secure as they age. Written by an earlier pioneer in the field of heart transplant research, "What Every Senior Needs to Know About Health Care" is a guide to the medical, financial, and social issues of todays complex American health care system, specifically for people age 50 and older. The guide includes information on:

2. The promises and dangers of medications;
3. The aging process and how treatments and medications are influenced by aging;
4. The ten leading causes of death and disability for seniors;
5. Health maintenance strategies involving nutrition, fitness, and the avoidance of risk factors; and
6. Mental and social health, elder abuse, retirement, and end-of-life issues. "What Every Senior Needs to Know About Health Care" is an indispensable resource for both older Americans and those with aging relatives.
