Greetings,
A new book has been just published in the "Nutrition and Disease
Prevention" book series:
Geriatric Nutrition (Nutrition and Disease Prevention)
by John E. Morley and David R. Thomas
http://tinyurl.com/2znwda
Book Description
Drawing from a group of outstanding experts in the field, Geriatric
Nutrition ties basic research with clinical practice in a state-of-the-
art review of current nutritional thinking. Beginning with an overview
on nutrition in older persons, the book addresses nutritional
requirements, techniques for the clinical assessment of nutrition in
older adults, and the management of undernutrition in nursing homes
and assisted living environments. A significant portion of the book
covers nutrition recommendations in specific disease states, such as
psychological issues, obesity, diabetes, cancer, anemia, and fracture
risk. The book also considers multicultural and ethical issues
relevant to the sensitive treatment of older individuals.
Key words:
New books, Nutrition, Disease Prevention, Geriatric Nutrition, John

life-extension, aging, ageing, longevity, gerontology, gerontological,

Hope it helps,
Kind regards,
