Comparative socio-medical studies of the elderly

American Journal of Public Health, 1984, vol. 74, issue 11, 1196-1197

Abstract: Comparative socio-medical studies of the aging may either reinforce or call into question methods used to meet the health needs of the elderly in any given country. The findings of such studies serve to enlarge the perspective of those policy makers, administrators, and practitioners who must reconcile resources with the growing demands of an elderly population.
