One  of the problems geriatricians are confronted with in everyday clinical  practice is differentiating disease from the process of old age. The  challenges of ageing require a better understanding of the essential  biology of ageing in order to separate ageing from disease, and indeed  ageing made worse by disease. Although the topic is large and diverse,  this practical and easy-to-read reference book contains vital  information on the biology of ageing. It provides a concise  understanding of the changes that occur and focuses on the clinical  implications of ageing. MCQs are featured throughout for revision and  examination practice. The Biology of Ageing provides the reader with: . a  learning guide on the biology of ageing through an overview of the  changes that occur at both cellular and system levels . knowledge of how  biological changes of ageing impact on physiology and the clinical  relevance in medical practice . a practical consideration of these  changes in disease presentations and how these changes may impact on  disease management. This full-colour guide featuring slides, MRIs,  figures and photographs is ideal for doctors training in geriatric  medicine, practising geriatricians and those with an interest in  management of older people,
