The aging of our population has huge implications for baby boomers and their children, and has generated a greater interest in the causes and effects of aging.Our Aging Bodies provides a clear, scientifically based explanation of what happens to all the major organ systems and bodily processes—such as the cardiovascular and digestive systems—as people age.
