Silver Universe cover

Silver Universe explores the topic of aging through an interdisciplinary lens while promoting their new idea of “active living” which incorporates exercise alongside a healthy diet and the implementation of disease prevention. The diverse group of contributors shed light on the connections between the psychological, emotional, and physical aspects of aging. From psychology (both clinical and social), through neurology, neurogenetics, gerontology, nutrition, economics, communication, law, tourism and theology, this book offers complimentary views on active living to ensure a high quality of life.

Silver Universe: Views on Active Living takes the reader on a journey through recent social changes in Western society. No one better than the editors, Laura Dryjanska and Roberto Giua, two key members of the European Network on Intergenerational Family Solidarity (INTERFASOL), can emphasize how meaningful relationships, including care and support between generations, are essential for an active life. -- Anne Marie Fontaine, University of Porto
