This edited volume will address the ways in which seniors bounce back from different types and combinations of adversity - termed \"resilience\". While research has been accumulating that identifies inherent abilities and external resources needed to adapt and navigate stress-inducing experiences among aging and older adults, gaps remain in understanding the unique elements and processes of resilience. A series of chapters included in this book will address several overarching questions: why do some older individuals\/families\/communities adapt to adversity better than others; what are modifiable behavioral protective\/risk factors related to resilience; and how can we foster resilience at the individual\/community level and which approaches show the most promise?\u003cbr\u003eThe spectrum of aging-related challenges and responses addressed in this book include: mental health; physical\/functional health problems; multimorbidity; socio-economic deprivation; social isolation and loneliness; cultural dimensions of loneliness; housing\/homelessness problems; and environmental disasters. This book presents cutting-edge science at the conceptual, methodological, empirical and practice levels applied to emerging resilience sub-fields in gerontology. It will also present potential areas of future research, policy and practice linked to these areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring a period of the most rapid population aging in the US, Canada and many other nations, coupled with heightened global socio-political change, extending our knowledge of resilience will help society to make important adjustments to maximize health and wellness of older individuals. Supporting and enhancing resilience through technological, social and\/or community-level advances in geroscience will help those facing adversity to thrive by harnessing, stretching, and leveraging a wide array of potential resources. The promotion of healthier older populations has far-reaching consequences for health care and social\/community support systems, both in terms of public health including pandemic response, and the development and implementation of innovations in treatment and practice guidelines.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277847519383,"sku":"9783030570910","price":11017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030570910.webp?v=1769289349","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/resilience-and-aging-emerging-science-and-future-possibilities-9783030570910","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
