Endocrine Aspects of Successful Aging: Genes, Hormones and Lifestyles
ISBN: 9783642073595 / Angielski / Miękka / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the beginning of the 20th century, life expectancy at birth in North America and Western Europe was around 50 years of age.

Of course, the other side of the medal is to tackle the challenge of preventing age-associated chronic diseases. In this book the extensive field of research on...

For some, a category of law and aging is inherently paternalistic, suggesting that older persons are, like children, especially in...
