Near Fine/N/A. blue titles spine; illustrated by b/w. drawings, charts & tables; "the chapters in this volume build firmly on the work on health, behavior, and aging that has been accumulating in the past decade, especially by the N.I.A. (National Institute on Aging) and they look ahead to potentially more fruitful avenues in the coming decade. Significant contributions have been made by the scientific staff of the Social and Behavioral Research program to these developments, past and future. All members of this staff have continually encouraged research in this area. And, in particular, the NIA has held the lead in the all-NIH Working Group on Health and Behavior, which provided major sponsorship for the IOM project of 1982 and has continued throughout the decade to coordinate relevant work in all the NIH institutes (and, on occasion, in all the agencies of the Public Health Service). Moreover, it was the NIA that took the initiative in organizing and implementing the ABMR-NIA project of 1987, which established aging as a basic dimension of health and behavior."; including notes & index - 377 pages.
