| Annotation | This book pinpoints health problems which may affect older people on international journeys and suggests ways and means of making trips abroad as safe as possible. The aim is not to discourage older travellers from enjoying their holidays abroad, but to enhance their enjoyment by highlighting those hazards which the unwary traveller may not have considered. Chapters include identifying health risks, the effects of ageing and chronic disease, and illnesses associated with air travel. |
