Gerontology
|
|
Submission deadline: 11/30/2014
|
Scope and purposes
|
Gerontology is the discipline that studies, in a systemic manner, the process of aging through two points of view: the way aging affects the person and the way that aging changes society (Ruiz, 2012). Furthermore, gerontologists consider two different “kinds” of aging, or two lenses trough, which the concept of aging are viewed: population aging and individual aging. Population aging describes the overall number of persons born in a specific period of time. While, individual aging, describes the life expectancy that nowadays is substantially greater (Cutler, 2014). It is important to recognize that the aging of the population shouldn’t be consider as something negative but as a positive consequence of the medical, technological advances and cultural changes, which have diminished the mortality and increased life expectancy. Additionally, the decrease in rates of fecundity and birthrate, explains the increase in this population sector. This is why as the demands of medical, assistance and sociocultural services increases; this would imply a more healthy and active aging (Pi?a, 2012). However, older individuals typically experience impairments in physical functioning and increasing incidence of chronic health problems. Although some decline with age is inevitable, considerable evidence indicates that physically active older individuals maintain healthy functioning than do sedentary peers (Garatachea, Molinero, Martínez-García, Jiménez-Jiménez, González-Gallego & Márquez, 2009). Nevertheless, even in the United States, the number of health professionals and service providers with training in gerontology and geriatrics is insufficient. A reality that may be due to the notion that the aging process should be medicalized and the existing belief that the health systems was developed to treat acute episodes rather than chronic conditions and eldercare which has tended toward hospitalization and residential-based care (Perkinson, 2013). The purpose of this volume is to provide the professional community with the necessary knowledge and understanding regarding the elderly population and their current problems and solutions. Also, we want to encourage researchers in gerontology to provide their most recent elderly investigations with the intent of providing better quality of life to this population.
