Abstract: This popular work is a "long-life" diet guide for the general public. By following the "high/low" diet, the author feels that the reader can increase his/her longevity as well as increase the number of productive years. The diet is designed to promote weight loss and reduce the risks of a variety of degenerative diseases including heart disease, cancer, and stroke. The book includes numerous recipes which contain nutritional information on a number of nutrients (some recipes have been analyzed more extensively than others), and 20 days of menus which provide less than 1500 kilocalories per day.

Japanese and American economists assess the present economic status of the elderly in the United States and Japan, and consider the impact of an aging population on the economies of the two countries. With essays on labor force participation and retirement, housing equity and the economic status of the elderly, budget implications of an aging population, and financing social security and health care in the 1990s, this volume covers a broad spectrum of issues related to the economics of aging. Among the book's findings are that workers are retiring at an increasingly earlier age in both countries. In addition, as the populations age, baby boomers in the United States will face diminishing financial resources as the ratio of retirees to workers sharply increases. The result of a joint venture between the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Japan Center for Economic Research, this book complements Housing Markets in the United States and Japan (1994) by integrating research on housing markets with economic issues of the aged in the United States and Japan.
