As we age, we change, and as we change, we change the world together. “Old” is the label. It is not our age that makes us old. Neither aging nor man has a single face. Every person goes from face to face throughout the day. He puts on and takes off his masks. Aging comes to us today with different faces. As we get to know them, we also recognize our aging and old age. Knowing about aging and old age means knowing the person and the age, especially in the age when the life expectancy sees 100 years and hopes that it will go beyond.
Old age doesn't have to be a sad end. As important as believing in destiny is believing that we can change it; that's the real issue. Getting old is our destiny, but changing old age is in our hands. Those who can predict their destiny can change their destiny. Seeing is possible with light. Knowledge is a powerful light. The mighty light of life in youth dazzles the eyes. In old age, however, life becomes more visible as the power of the light of life decreases. Our duty today is to improve the lives of those who can see life, to prepare the conditions for them to see a life full of peace, happiness and meaning.
The book in your hand, which is an encyclopedia, is the result of three years of hard work day and night. We think that you will read the chapters in this two-volume book with great enthusiasm and pleasure, in which the world-renowned and well-known experts in the field of gerontology convey their unique knowledge and experience as the authors of the chapters. In this book, which is prepared in two volumes, the subjects of Gerontology are discussed in a wide range from demography to psychology, from anthropology to sociology, from economics to life and environmental sciences, from education to technology, from politics to social welfare, from biology to psychiatry, from long-term care to preventive health, from nutrition to disability, from family structures to violence against the elderly.

For this reason, it is vital to be prepared for ODDs both before and after. It is imperative to produce solutions with a multidisciplinary approach to developing and dynamic ODDs. For this reason, a systematic approach is important before, during and after ODDs from a Public Health Specialist perspective. The leading ODDs that remain up to date in Türkiye are refugees and migrants who are victims of floods, earthquakes and wars in our country due to our geographical location. In addition to these, many natural and human-induced ODDs such as landslides, transportation accidents and fires are experienced. There is also an absolute need for adequate knowledge for successful intervention in ODDs. Our insufficient level of theoretical knowledge makes things difficult in the already complex disaster area, and even drags the whole operation into chaos.

Abdurrahman Aktümsek, Gökalp Özmen Güler, Yavuz Selim Çakmak, Gökhan Zengin This book has been prepared for faculty or college students who take the biochemistry course in a short period of time, such as one semester. Although there are many translated and written biochemistry books in our country, what makes this book unique among them is that it has a content and appropriate volume that students can easily understand.
In the writing of the book, one of the most valid methods in learning and teaching, the "general to detailed method" was applied. At the beginning of each topic, a brief summary of that topic is given and then the details of the topic are given.
In order to better understand the information, the written information is associated with examples and analogies and supported by many formulas, pictures and tables.

Velittin Kalınkara Our elderly world has also started to age demographically. Although the phenomenon of aging is mostly accepted as a problem of developed countries, it is now an issue that should be emphasized as much as developed countries. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in the number and proportion of the elderly as a result of the improvement of health conditions, decrease in fertility and increase in quality of life with the effect of industrialization. This increase; It has caused rapid and important changes in family and community life, changed social institutions, behavior and values, and affected the status and functions of the elderly. In this process, while the family structure and social structure changed, the readiness of the family and the institutions did not change in the same direction. While the improvement of living conditions ensures longevity, the economic, social and health-related problems of longevity are generally ignored.
This book will be useful for individuals to equip themselves with basic information about aging and to develop an attitude towards solving problems. It is a source book especially for academicians working in health and social fields, students studying in the field and those who are interested in the subject.

Medical biology and genetics is the science of biology that studies the hereditary character that affects human existence and health. This book has been arranged according to the needs of the departments to be used during the conduct of the "Medical Biology and Genetics" course taught in the first years of Health Services programs and faculties. The selected course contents are handled in a general framework and aim to provide students with a basic perspective on the field. The chapters of the book are planned as seven chapters in accordance with this purpose. In the first three chapters, cell biology and metabolism are explained from simple to complex in the light of current literature. In the following three chapters, the structure and organization of hereditary material are explained and detailed information is given about genetic diseases affecting human health. In the last section, cancer genetics and pathogenesis are explained and the pathophysiological process from gene to cell behavior is discussed as a whole.
Students who are new to higher education have difficulty in understanding the main subjects of medical biology and genetics, which consist of abstract data. For this reason, the topics in the book are explained in an understandable language as well as being embodied with detailed drawings. Although the topics are explained briefly and concisely, they are supported by the current literature.

Ender M. Coşkunpınar In recent years, our knowledge has increased within the scope of research on the molecular basis of diseases. With the use of increasing knowledge in both medical biology and medical genetics, diseases caused by cellular and chromosomal changes, which have a genetic basis, are tried to be understood on the one hand and treated on the other. Written from this point of view, this book covers all topics from the beginning of life to cell death mechanisms under the main title of "Medical Biology". Under the main title of “Genetics”, it provides an integrity starting from the structure of DNA and RNA, including the features of the genetic code, mutations and inheritance patterns. The difference of our book from its counterparts written so far is that the second part includes molecular genetics applications and practical applications step by step. There are six chapters in the "Application" part of the book, in which medical biology and genetics are covered in fourteen chapters. This book, which has been prepared in accordance with the curriculum of the relevant boards of medical faculties, is a textbook that can be used in the relevant departments of health sciences faculties, dentistry faculties and health schools. This book, which has been prepared as a result of intense effort by following up-to-date data in a period of about two years, is a resource that undergraduate, graduate students and all academics can benefit from.

Although the World Health Organization (WHO) considers those over the age of 65 to be elderly, all individuals in old age do not constitute a homogeneous group. In other words, each elderly person may have different needs or occupations. In this sense, elderly care is a special concept that requires a holistic approach. With the increasing elderly population, elderly care has become a very important concept.
The increase in the proportion of the elderly in the total population means that the number of elderly individuals in need of professional care also increases. In this context, the need for personnel who will serve as intermediate staff has increased as well as physicians / nurses who can provide professional treatment and care for the elderly.
In addition to the definitions of the elderly and old age, this book contains the basic concepts in elderly care and is a source book on the care of the elderly. Hoping to be a guide in the care of the elderly…

While increasing life expectancy and lowering birth rates are considered great achievements in modern science and health care, their significant impact on future generations is underrated. No matter how long we live, it becomes necessary for every country to rethink and restructure its social and economic institutions in order to ensure the well-being of individuals when working life ends. The aging of societies can affect economic growth and the sustainability of families, the ability of states and societies to provide resources for older people, and many other issues, including international relations. Despite scientific evidence, the importance and global implications of population aging are not yet fully understood. There is a need to raise awareness not only of global aging issues, but also of the importance of rigorous international scientific research and policy dialogue to help us respond to the challenges and opportunities of an aging world.
This book paints a picture of the impact of the aging population on the economy, society, family and environment. We hope this book, consisting of twenty chapters and contributed by 32 authors, will encourage you to identify the best ways to address dialogue, international studies, and the universal human experience about work, economics, family, communication, landscaping, and behavioral issues. We believe that scientists and every member of the society will be inspired by these suggestions and experiences in planning our own future, the aging and aging policies of the world societies and our country.
