Sobre IBD

Increasingly, we question ’what makes us healthy?’, as well as ’what makes us ill?’. What does this shift mean for frailty? This ground-breaking book takes a holistic approach to frailty. It connects the medical literature with the wider social science discourse on ageing, and focuses on promoting wellbeing and the building up of strengths. Drawing together the latest biomedical evidence and good practice, it explores ideas about assets and resilience, the role of society and the social model of disability in relation to frailty, arguing that insufficient attention is paid to positive action such as developing bone strength, maintaining good nutrition and exercising.
