| Annotation | This article provides an introduction to a series of articles on ageing in this issue of 'The Lancet'. It looks at how the myths of ageing affect the way we think and talk about older people, and our attitudes toward them. The aim is to challenge negative views about ageing, old people, and their carers, and what can be done to improve their independence and well-being, as well as to encourage an interest in geriatric medicine among young doctors. |
