This volume is the fourth in a series designed to facilitate inter-disciplinary communication between scientists concerned with the description of societal phenomena and those investigating adult development. As such, it contains a compilation of papers presented at an annual conference held at the Pennsylvania State University. These essays by sociologists and epidemiologists deal with the impact of disease and health outcomes with advancing age and are critiqued by members of related disciplines. In addition, there are overviews as well as specific discussions about the impact of cancer, depression, and cardiovascular diseases upon psychosocial functions.
"This study of health and aging with regard to race, gender, and socioeconomic status provides a focused analysis of aging and society."
—Contemporary Psychology
"...a series of informative and well-written papers by prominent researchers....discussed by an equally prominent group of experts from social science and biobehavioral fields....this volume succeeds in pointing to the critical role played by psychosocial factors in the study of aging and health....important reading for anyone involved in or planning research on aging and health."
—Contemporary Sociology
"The book is well organized, readable, and timely. Graphic presentations of data are clear and include explanations. Chapter references are comprehensive and current."
