Older people, and their health, are widely seen as 'different', writes Paula Jones. Services for older people have failed to keep pace with the medical advances which have resulted in increased longevity; they are largely ignored in the 'Health of the nation' strategy. Here she questions society's attitudes to older people and examines the consequences for the delivery of health services and for older people themselves.
宝拉·琼斯写道，老年人及其健康状况普遍被视为“与众不同”。针对老年人的服务未能跟上医学进步的步伐，而医学进步已导致人均寿命延长；在“国民健康”战略中，老年人基本上被忽视了。在此，她质疑社会对老年人的态度，并审视这种态度给医疗服务的提供以及老年人自身所带来的后果。
