The question of communication and understanding between different generations is emerging as a key issue for the twenty-first century.

During the last 40 years, the study of the biological basis of aging has progressed tremendously, and it has now become an independent and respectable field of study and research. The essential cause of aging is molecular damage that slowly overwhelms cellular and organismic defense, repair and maintenance systems. In recent years, a wealth of highly sophisticated research has transformed this idea from a credible hypothesis not only to a major theory, but essentially to accepted knowledge. Aging at the Molecular Level examines the key elements in this transformation.

Demenz passt exakt in die Definition der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) von 2002 uber Krankheiten, die Palliativpflege bedurftig sind: chronisch, fortschreitend, unheilbar, den Tod beschleunigend.
