Chapters cover methodological topics like the scientific method, ethics, and the consequences of certain exclusion criteria, and the work includes a look at clinical concepts like multimorbidity, frailty and functionality. The authors reveal the issues and challenges for researchers of age and aging, and also consider the translation of scientific knowledge, from basic to clinical, and from clinical to public policies of social and health care.   The focus on aging is what gives this book its valuable perspective on research methodology. All authors have considerable experience in aging, geriatrics or gerontology, and each chapter includes both a theoretical framework and practical examples of studies in aging. Readers will discover study designs that are reviewed for basic structure, main flaws and advantages, and are analyzed for specific conditions and variables regarding aging. This text is suited to both health care professionals caring for older adults, and researchers who are new to research in aging. It is relevant across the disciplines, including medicine, psychology, social sciences and dentistry, and it supports learning with graphs and figures. 606 $aMedicine 606 $aGeriatrics 606 $aAging 606 $aScience education 606 $aPsychology 606 $aBiomedicine, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000X 606 $aGeriatrics/Gerontology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33150 606 $aAging$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X11000 606 $aScience Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000 606 $aScience, Humanities and Social Sciences, multidisciplinary$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/A11007 606 $aPsychology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y00007 615 0$aMedicine. 615 0$aGeriatrics. 615 0$aAging. 615 0$aScience education. 615 0$aPsychology. 615 14$aBiomedicine, general. 615 24$aGeriatrics/Gerontology. 615 24$aAging. 615 24$aScience Education. 615 24$aScience, Humanities and Social Sciences, multidisciplinary. 615 24$aPsychology, general. 676 $a150 676 $a305.26 676 $a50 676 $a507.1 676 $a610 676 $a612.67 676 $a618.97 702 $aGarcía-Peña$b Carmen$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGutiérrez-Robledo$b Luis Miguel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPérez-Zepeda$b Mario Ulises$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799490603321 996 $aAging Research - Methodological Issues$92494383 997 $aUNINA
