| Annotation | Disability in old age is a mass problem currently being tackled by inadequate self or family care rather than a coherent social response. Practical approaches to the prevention of disability should start with attempts to prevent common diseases, since such disorders can lead to a large amount of disability. The author cites results from reviews (mainly from the 1990s) to support these views. (RH). |
