Yet the aging of the Baby Boomers is just one part of the rapidly changing landscape of aging in the United States and around the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The latest volume in the NBER's Economics of Aging series, \u003ci\u003eDiscoveries in the Economics of Aging \u003c\/i\u003eassembles incisive analyses of the most recent research in this expanding field of study. A substantive focus of the volume is the well-documented relationship between health and financial well-being, especially as people age. The contributors explore this issue from a variety of perspectives within the context of the changing demographic landscape. The first part of the volume explores recent trends in health measurement, including the use of alternative measurement indices. Later contributions explore, among other topics, alternate determinants of health, including retirement, marital status, and cohabitation with family, and the potential for innovations, interventions, and public policy to improve health and financial well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David A.
