AnnotationThe ageing of developing countries in the Western Pacific Region and the subsequent epidemic of non-communicable diseases is a major health challenge. This manual is based on research developed by Professor David De Vries of the School of Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia. It outlines ways of responding to the health needs of ageing populations in developing countries. The approach used is based on research relating to: the link between ageing and chronic disease and disability; the factors that contribute to chronic disease and disability in later life; the factors that improve health outcomes for older people; and the effectiveness of health promotion strategies in achieving healthy ageing.
