Health and Well-Being Across the Life Course - Grand Format

Using a life course approach, the main chapters in this truly original text focus on health and well-being during each of our life stages. A wide range of contemporary literature from disciplines such as public health, sociology, epidemiology and social policy are drawn upon to examine key health and well-being issues in these stages, and to illustrate how health effects can accumulate across the life course.
Interactive activities in each chapter are used to encourage critical reflection and debate. The book will be essential reading for students on the many courses across health and social care that need an understanding of health and well-being across all age groups. It will also be valuable reading for practitioners working in the field.
