Summary
Much of my scholarship in gerontology has been directed at two important questions: what is normal versus pathological aging, and how do we conceptualize, measure and positively influence older adults' quality of life? In addition to the theoretical and empirical value of these questions, the answers to these questions have critical implications for the daily lives of older adults. Decisions about nursing home placements, diagnoses of dementia and declarations of incompetence often hinge on judgments and measures of w88 online sports betting and psychological functioning. My passion for gerontology has led me to write an introductory textbook on aging, which includes a full range of topics, from normal physical aspects of aging to economics, work and retirement, medical conditions, Social Security, Medicare, the Older Americans Act and older adults’ contributions to their communities. That passion also led to me to join the Board of Directors of the National Association for Professional Gerontologists (NAPG), a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve, promote and professionalize the field of gerontology.
