Book description
The aging of society is leading to many challenges across all areas of
medicine. The problems of muscle aging have led to a rise in the
incidence of less common conditions, which though not terminal are
debilitating and frequently progressive, and often underdiagnosed or
misdiagnosed. Written by a team of international experts, this landmark
book will look at the general clinical problems associated with muscle
aging before examining inclusion-body myositis and myopathies, a group
of the more important diseases of muscle aging. With case vignettes to
aid diagnosis to ensure correct management of an illness, here is an
essential reference for professionals and students. Edited by
