Dr. M. Ayati and Dr. A. Azarani's book Paths to Healthy Aging
In the US about 80 percent of older adults have one chronic condition, and 50 percent have at least two. Over 40 percent of the elderly take at least five medications. Similar numbers can be found elsewhere in the world, and they continue to grow. In addition to the care provided through physicians, hospitals, and pharmacies, it is clear that older adults and their loved ones need comprehensible and reliable information, effective strategies, and guidelines so that a much higher percentage can avoid or manage chronic diseases and have a significantly better quality of life. Paths to Healthy Aging was written to support that need.
While there are massive amounts of information and advice available on the topic of healthy aging in books, magazines, scientific publications, and online sources, so often the information is contradictory, confusing, overly technical or difficult to follow. Furthermore, the validity of much of this information is highly questionable. Myths, unsubstantiated opinions, and marketing hype abound. Where can the elderly, their caretakers and other loved ones find knowledge-based advice backed by solid evidence, advice that is clear, comprehensible, and practical?
Paths to Healthy Aging is a simple workbook, a collaboration between a geriatrician and a research scientist trained in physiology, molecular biology, and genetics. The book integrates the best current research with real clinical experiences from thousands of hours spent treating the elderly, helping the general public make sense of the difficult and contradictory information on the topic of aging. It covers five key topics—nutrition, mental health, physical health, medications and choosing the right physician—with suggested action plans for each. The clear explanations of important aspects of the science of aging, punctuated with vivid and inspiring stories, are paired with practical advice. This book guides the reader toward creating a joyful and sustainable lifestyle to take them along the path to healthy aging.
