Healthy Aging

Springer, 2026

Healthy Aging offers an evidence-based exploration of the biomedical, psychosocial, and environmental factors that shape aging trajectories and interventions that can improve them. Opening with an accessible overview of age-related biological and functional changes, the book goes on to examine the health challenges most closely associated with older adulthood. Expert contributors highlight approaches to preventing disease and disability, emphasizing not only longevity but quality of life and reduced burden of illness. The text reinforces a whole-person perspective that accounts for social, cultural, and behavioral influences essential to effective clinical care as healthcare systems adapt to aging populations worldwide. All existing chapters have been revised to reflect new research and current best practices since the publication of the first edition, along with the addition of a new chapter on geroscience and healthy aging. Healthy Aging, Second Edition is an indispensable resource for geriatricians, family medicine physicians, nurses, gerontologists, public health professionals, students, and all clinicians and policymakers working to support the health and vitality of older adults.
