| Annotation | Ethnic minorities represent a growing percentage of the elderly population in the United States. In this book, contributors examine the socioeconomic, historical and cultural factors influencing the special health problems of a variety of populations: African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans. Specific issues on six general themes are reviewed: mortality and life expectancy; chronic diseases and disabilities; diet and nutrition; mental health; health services and long-term care; and health policy. |
