"Health demography" has come to play an increasingly important role
within the larger field during the past twenty years; the number of
health professionals who utilize its methods and materials has grown
exponentially. In a thoroughgoing revision of the first edition of this
classic text and reference, published by Plenum in 1992, the authors
convey the general principles that underlie this applied subdiscipline
and demonstrate how the merging of demography and health care impacts on
the planning processes of a range of health care organizations.
