File Description [top]

The Gale Group Health & Wellness DatabaseSM is a comprehensive periodical and reference database produced by The Gale Group, providing broad coverage in the areas of health, medicine, fitness, and nutrition. Gale Group Health & Wellness Database is designed to address the needs of health and medical professionals, specialized business and industry researchers, consumers, and a wide range of people seeking a general understanding about important health issues and practices.

Gale Group Health & Wellness Database covers a diverse range of sources, including consumer health magazines, professional medical journals, consumer health pamphlets, medical reference books, topical overviews of diseases and medical conditions, and important referral information. Also included are health-related articles from more than 4,000 other business and general interest publications indexed by The Gale Group in such databases as Trade & Industry DatabaseTM (File 148), Magazine DatabaseTM (File 47), and others.

Full text is provided for 70% of the consumer and professional journals; pamphlets, overviews, and other reference material are 100% full text. Four kinds of abstracts are available in Health & Wellness Database: author abstracts, provided for articles from professional journals; "consumer summaries," provided for many of the technically-oriented articles, written expressly for the layperson or non-medical professional; and brief summaries and abstracts derived from other Gale Group databases.

Gale Group Health & Wellness Database includes 170 consumer and professional publications. Also included are 550 consumer health pamphlets published by leading foundations, associations, and government agencies.

Key reference sources also are featured, including five medical reference books (Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons Complete Home Medical Guide, Mosby's Medical Dictionary, The People's Book of Medical Tests, Oryx Press Consumer Health Information Source Book, and the USP DI-VII Advice for the Patient: Drug Information in Lay Language); topical overviews of more than 1,800 descriptions of diseases and medical conditions published by Clinical Reference Systems (CRS); and contact information for support groups, hotlines, and research centers from The Complete Directory for People With Chronic Illness.

  /AB, /XT   ABSTRACT:  The aging of the baby boom generation is expected to 
     have a substantial impact on the profile of the country's elderly 
     population. For nutrition professionals, this development can have 
     important implications. It is important to plan for the future in 
     order to be better prepared to cope with these changes. Planning 
     should take into account the professional environment, available 
     resources, changing demographics and the political realities of 
     the 21st century. 
     TEXT: 
  /LP,/XT,/TX     In the summer of 1994, Jesse Brown, Secretary of the 
     Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), sent a message to 
     all VA employees about health-care reform that is relevant 
     in a broader context. Brown said stop worrying about the 
     future; instead, put your energies into preparing for it. This 
     is certainly an interesting and challenging thought, especially 
     at this time in history. 
     . 
     . 
     . 
       To give you a final thought on how dietitians are seen, I would 
     like to quote one of my favorite works on aging, You're Only Old 
     Once! (9), by the famous philosopher Dr Seuss: Dietician Von 
     Eiffel controls the Wuff-Whiffer, our Diet-Devising Computerized 
     Sniffer, on which you just simply lie down in repose and sniff at 
     good food as it goes past your nose. From caviar souffle 
     to caribou roast, from pemmican patties to terrapin toast, he'll 
     find out by Sniff-Scan the foods you like most. And when that 
     guy finds out what you like, you can bet it won't be on your 
     diet. From here on, forget it!
