The book is intended to provide the latest information to practicing physicians , clinical investigators, and other researchers involved in the basic science and clinical aspects of this broad and rapidly evolving topic. ! The book includes tables and figures for easy reference and provides references to recent clinical trials. Each chapter contains an editor's note explaining how nutrition can be integrated into practice. The text also includes nutritional recommendations from world-renowned clinicians. ! the book warrants a look from educators who would like to provide their physical therapy, students with the most recent evidence on nutrition in the daily treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. ! serve as an adjunct reference for those interested in research or teaching musculoskeletal content." -- Janna Beling, Department Chair, Department of Physical Therapy, California State University, in Physical Therapy, Vol. 87, No. 5, p. 613, May 2007 "The book definitely offers the reader in-depth and extensive coverage of the more common nutrition issues that older individuals will face either at home or in environments that provide direct care for elderly residents! It would make a great reference for nearly all health care professionals, from dietitians to general practice physicians looking for an encompassing nutrition reference addressing issues that affect older adults." --Journal of the American Medical Association, Winter 2008
