- Title
Health and Ageing--Challenges for Health Psychology Research.
- Authors
STEPHENS, CHRISTINE; FLICK, UWE
- Abstract
In the light of ageing populations, three general issues of health and ageing become relevant for research and intervention in health psychology: ageing in the general population, among those who are confronted with frailty and illness, and on the ageing experiences of specific populations. In all of these areas there is a need to understand the factors (such as social engagement) that promote well-being and compression of ageing in community or institutional dwelling elders, while being aware of the impact of ageism, inequalities and exclusion on different people's access to health related policy resources and health care.
