It suggests a program of research and technology development for the purpose of ameliorating the effects of functional changes that accompany the aging process and provides a basis for additional research and application of human factors engineering data to the design of environments in which aging people must function. 606 $aAging 606 $aHuman engineering 615 0$aAging. 615 0$aHuman engineering. 676 $a305.26 701 $aCzaja$b Sara J$01806751 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on Human Factors Research Issues for an Aging Population. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972029003321 996 $aHuman factors research needs for an aging population$94356109 997 $aUNINA
