Health Promotion Throughout the Life Span

Health Promotion Throughout the Life Span, 10th Edition, by Carole Lium Edelman and Elizabeth Connelly Kudzma, is a textbook focused on health promotion and disease prevention across life stages. Published by Elsevier UK, this volume establishes a foundation for examining growth, development, and preventive care measures across different age groups.

The core structure features distinct chapters focused on assessment and health promotion across three specific levels: individuals, families, and communities. Practical application relies on Gordon's Functional Health Patterns assessment framework, which structures patient care plans and analytical case studies.

This release incorporates Healthy People 2030 initiatives and national health priorities into its foundational scope. Specific content addressing veteran's health is also integrated throughout the volume to highlight clinical considerations for this population.
