YOUTH PROLONGED: OLD AGE POSTPONED
JUVENTUDE PROLONGADA: VELHICE ADIADA
by Robert Weale (King's College London, UK)
What exactly is human ageing? Can it be slowed down?
These questions have puzzled scientists and laymen alike
for generations, and continue to do so today. The author
addresses these thought-provoking issues by challenging
pre-conceived notions of age-perception, age-acceptance
and inter-age relations.
O que é exatamente o envelhecimento humano? Pode ser retardado? Estas questões têm intrigado cientistas e leigos durante gerações e continuam a intrigá-los atualmente. O autor aborda estas questões estimulantes, desafiando noções pré-concebidas de perceção da idade, aceitação da idade e relações entre idades.
Pertinent matters of age-related
communication are dealt with, and the reader is treated to
a grand tour of the latest theories of ageing, age-related
biological changes and age-related diseases, such as
Alzheimer's Disease.
São abordadas questões pertinentes da comunicação relacionada com a idade e o leitor é brindado com uma visita guiada às mais recentes teorias do envelhecimento, às alterações biológicas relacionadas com a idade e às doenças relacionadas com a idade, como a doença de Alzheimer.
Here, the author's expertise in agerelated eye diseases truly comes into its own.
Weale's unique work not only underlines important
genetic and avoidable risk factors but gives ample
consideration to possible consequences stemming from
different early lifestyles.
Neste ponto, a experiência do autor em doenças oculares relacionadas com a idade é verdadeiramente importante. O trabalho único de Weale não só sublinha importantes factores de risco genéticos e evitáveis, como também dá ampla consideração às possíveis consequências decorrentes de diferentes estilos de vida precoces.
Readers will re-consider their
ideas of what it means to age, and gain a better
understanding of what can and cannot slow down the
process of ageing.
Os leitores irão reconsiderar as suas ideias sobre o que significa envelhecer e compreender melhor o que pode e o que não pode abrandar o processo de envelhecimento.
