About the Book

Handbook of Nutrition in the Aged: Second Edition reviews major nutritional problems occurring in adults and the elderly. Updated and expanded, this new edition provides a detailed treatment of the key nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are frequently deficient in the diets of aging adults. Important advances regarding the role of calcium in the health of aging adults are examined as well. Recent research regarding the treatment of a variety of nutritionally related diseases and conditions is included.
The book also presents expanded coverage of the special nutritional needs of refugee and prisoner of war groups, in addition to a discussion of the special nutritional problems of the Third World. Handbook of Nutrition in the Aged: Second Edition will be an important reference for dietitians, clinical and research nutritionists, gerontologists, experimental biologists, and other researchers involved with adult nutrition.
