- Bookedited by Kim A. Collins, Roger W. Byard.Summary: "A major historical impediment to the study of the diseases of the elderly has been the relative lack of elderly patients. For much of our history, human populations have been characterized by high fertility and high infant and child mortality. Those who did survive to adulthood died at high rates (compared to modern standards) of either natural disease or violence. Reaching old age was considered an achievement. Displayed graphically, this population dynamic resulted in a characteristic bottom-heavy population pyramid with lots of infants born, lots of infants and children dying, and a sharp taper to a narrow peak of the very elderly"-- Provided by publisher.
