These key issues are addressed based on three converging research streams: social-ecological research, which assumes that major processes and outcomes of ageing such as day to-day competence are shaped by social and physical-spatial environments; geropsychology research, which is driven by a life-span developmental conception of ageing; and epidemiology, which offers most fundamental disease, function and prevention-related data. This volume links ageing research with policy considerations and implications and establishes a link between European research and the knowledge base of the international scientific community concerned with ageing. 4aHealth a10332/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10333/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10333/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10332/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10332/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10333/MKRI-P/XI-2008
