Since the first edition of <EM>Encyclopedia of Gerontology</EM>, the research literature on aging continues to expand rapidly, reflecting both the rising interest of the scientific community and also the needs of a growing older population. In 1900, for example, persons over 65 years of age were the smallest portion of developed societies. Today that same demographic group is emerging as the largest. 
<P>
Aging is a complex process of change involving influences of a biological, behavioral, social, and environmental nature, all of which are explored in the context of this encyclopedia. This comprehensive second edition includes all-new articles and wholly new coverage of topics that have seen research advances.
