The Oldest Old in Everyday Life- Self-Perception, Coping With Change, And Stress

The oldest old, persons aged 85-100, are today's fastest growing age group. In an effort to learn more about this group, the authors embarked on a longitudinal study, which was initially funded by the National Institute on Aging. Based on the research findings, the authors explore the oldest-olds' perceptions over time, the relationship between stress and function, and the services and resources necessary to meet the needs of this unique age group.Beverly Roberts is the author of 'The Oldest Old in Everyday Life- Self-Perception, Coping With Change, And Stress', published 2001 under ISBN 9780826113856 and ISBN 0826113850.
