Features: Currently, Alzheimer's disease has become a key focus of medical research. Since the anatomy, physiology, disease characteristics, and socio-psychological factors affecting the onset, progression, and prognosis of diseases in the elderly differ from those in young and middle-aged adults, fully understanding these features is helpful for the early diagnosis, proper treatment, self-preventive health care, prolonging life expectancy, and improving the quality of life for elderly brain diseases. The book is divided into five parts: Elderly Brain Diseases and Related Factors; Clinical Examination and Diagnosis; Elderly Neurological Diseases; Mental Disorders in Old Age; Treatment, Prevention, and Health Care. The content is systematic and comprehensive, highlighting practical value, and incorporates the latest research findings in gerontology, clinical geriatric medicine, geriatric psychology, and geriatric sociology, making it a valuable reference book for important aspects of geriatric medicine.
