Features: This is a medical popular science book for middle-aged and elderly healthcare workers. It is aimed at a broad readership of middle-aged and elderly non-medical professionals, and can also serve as a reference for general practitioners in the community. Due to a revolution in writing methods, this book differs from the traditional styles of previous medical popular science books, with the goal of making it more the readers' needs, more their actual situations, and more their practicality. Therefore, we provide readers with tips on how to read and use the book. Part 1 is titled "Know Yourself," where we introduce a series of medical common-sense questions related to the normal physiological and psychological knowledge, health indicators, and characteristics of diseases and medication principles for middle-aged and elderly people. The second part is "Care for Yourself," which focuses on daily health and wellness knowledge for middle-aged and elderly people, including diet, daily routines, family care, and elderly sexual life. The third part is "Take Care of Yourself," which is divided into several sections: "What You Need to Know," "Symptoms," "Treatment," "When You Need to Seek Medical Attention," "What You Need to Pay Attention To," and "Special Tips."
