| Annotation | The refusal to accept chronic illness, prolonged disability and mental impairment as normal consequences of ageing has led to improvements in the healthcare of people of all ages in the US. Articles examine men's and women's health (including the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy, HRT); late-life depression; dementia; hypertension; urinary incontinence; bone pain; infections; and preventive medicine. Later articles consider the following issues of health care provision: age-based rationing; managed care; levels of long-term care; ethnogeriatrics (cross-cultural care); geriatric education centres; and ethical and legal considerations in clinical care.
