| Annotation | With advances in medical technology, the world's developed countries are "greying", or rather living longer, a trend which will continue in the 21st century. This guest editorial asks whether we are living better as well as longer, as age-related diseases diminish quality of life for too many people. Reference is made to studies of age-related diseases, where genetic components or cognitive impairment have been identified as contributory factors. (RH). |
