| Annotation | This book combines a scientific and medical description of ageing, with a critical review of ways to prolong life. It gives an overview of the mechanisms and determinants of ageing, including variability of life span between species, environmental and genetic factors, and the consequences of ageing on cells and tissues. The second part of this book looks at how the physiological and psychological effects of ageing can be slowed down. The roles of diet, lifestyle, vitamins, hormones, medication and surgery are discussed. |
