"The chapters I found most useful were those that were excellent expositions of areas I wanted to learn more about--genetics, the immune system, and the policy implications of cholesterol lowering in elderly people, as well as handy reviews of ongoing research programs which conveniently provides a historical and an integrated view of ongoing longitudinal studies in context....In sum, this is an excellent introduction to a wide range of major research programs that have and will continue to make contributions to our understanding of behavioral medicine and aging."
