It provides a long-term historical perspective on this issue, presenting evidence that the underpinnings of modern aging extend as far back as the nineteenth century, and that aging has boosted per capita healthcare spending. The book first outlines the three eras of the Epidemiologic Transition, taking readers from its first stage where the threat of infectious diseases loom large, through the transitional stage, and on to the modern era, where non-communicable diseases are the primary cause of death. Next, the book examines the age-profiles of people whose childhoods coincide with the different stages of the Epidemiologic Transition. Using data from England and Wales, one of the few places that have recorded the data necessary for such an exploration, the book resolves the aging paradox by studying hidden generational change. It traverses historical time and identifies the distinct socio-economic and epidemiologic childhood conditions that may appear in it. It then compares, for instance, aging of children brought up in an earlier epidemiologic stage with aging of ones raised in a modern one. In the process, it explores the influence of childhood development on aging. Overall, the book has a quantitative bent, engaging the reader with analytical issues that will help develop a deeper understanding of modern aging. 000726676 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 24, 2015). 000726676 650_0 $$aAging$$xResearch. 000726676 650_0 $$aAge factors in disease. 000726676 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319144023 000726676 830_0 $$aInternational perspectives on aging ;$$v12. 000726676 852__ $$bebk 000726676 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-14403-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000726676 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:726676$$pGLOBAL_SET 000726676 980__ $$aEBOOK 000726676 980__ $$aBIB 000726676 982__ $$aEbook 000726676 983__ $$aOnline 000726676 994__ $$a92$$bISE
