Publisher's summary

From Dr. Rosanne M. Leipzig, a top doctor with more than thirty-five years of experience caring for older people, Honest Aging is an indispensable guide to the second half of life, describing what to expect physically, psychologically, functionally, and emotionally as you age.

Leipzig, an expert in evidence-based geriatrics, highlights how eighty-year-olds differ from sixty-year-olds and why knowing this is important for your health. With candor, humor, and empathy, this book will provide you with the knowledge and practical advice to optimize aging. The book helps you recognize age-related changes in your body and mind and understand what's typical with aging and what's not; offers guidance for common health concerns; shares advice on how to make decisions about health care, driving, and where to live; includes helpful checklists and lists of medications to prepare for doctor and hospital visits; recommends the best technology options, such as mobility devices, emergency device systems, and more; counters common myths about aging; and offers resources for additional information, self-help, and support.

Enriched by patient stories and deep dives into science and the latest research, Honest Aging gives you the tools to take control of your health and well-being as you age.

A high quality resource on what to expect when aging and what to do to live healthy as one ages!

While many books have been written on how to magically stay “young” all one’s life, very few exist on how to stay healthy as one ages considering issues related to aging, that are based on science and written by a world renowned expert in aging. This book fills the gap. Recommend for people who want to learn what to expect when aging and what to do, along with their caregivers and clinicians.

Technical

Too technical. Good for doctors and nurses. Good voice quality. Sone chapters were too drawn out. Get to the point.

Vital Info for All Ages & Review Often

Every chapter is rich with information, and all subjects can allow for easier discussions of how to age well no matter where your final days are.

These discussions remove many unplanned decisions and irrational choices by the person involved and those in charge of making critical decisions.

** A "must read often" book 📖. **
