Viewed in wide perspective, aging presents two problems for the researcher's consideration. First is that of providing the most efficacious therapeutic regimens and the best possible care for those already in their latter years. The second is to determine the cause or causes for senescence and all its attendant problems in order to decrease the impact of senescence on general health and well being. This volume is aimed at examining possible relationships between biological time structure and aging and ways by which these interrelationships might be examined in terms of both the causes of senescence and the management of health problems of the elderly. The purpose of the volume is to stir the interests of chronobiologists in gerontology and those of gerontologists and geriatricians in chronobiology. It is indisputable, in our judgment, that biological time structure is a mutable dimension of biological organization with adaptive capabilit
