Description: "Based on a symposium held in Turin, Italy, March 1989. Two central points emerge as themes: the evidence that different mental habits may deeply affect the individual aging process and some of the common age- related diseases of the elderly, and the view that there are consistent possibilities for preventing some of the most severe disorders of aging. These are considered from perspectives of different disciplines and branches of medicine."--Booknews.com.
