Dr hayflick , today the grand old man of gerontology , is less sanguine .

如今已是老年病学著名前辈的海弗利克博士则没有这么乐观。

That means more training a home health aide with training in gerontology adds more value than one with only a high school diploma .

这意味着提供更多培训一位经过老年病学培训的家庭护工，就比一个只有高中学历的家庭护工更有价值。

People who understand gerontology and end-of-life issues , and who can stay on top of health-care regulation and follow developing trends in elder-care best practices , would be well-suited to this role .

懂得老年病学和生病终结问题，并能站在卫生保健规定的高度和遵从老年人护理最佳实践的发展趋势，这样的人最适合这个职位。

Gerontology itself is a youthful field , its progress having been slowed by aging 's daunting complexity and a tendency among scientists and doctors to consider diseases as entirely separate , rather than as manifestations of a common origin .

老年病学自身也是一个新兴的领域，它的研究进展减慢是因为衰老具有令人生畏的复杂性，并且还有个趋势即科学家与医生对待疾病完全分开，而不是作为一个共同起源的表现。

" People with stronger friendship networks feel like there is someone they can turn to , " said karen a. roberto , director of the center for gerontology at virginia tech . " Friendship is an undervalued resource . The consistent message of these studies is that friends make your life better . "

“有牢靠友谊圈的人觉得有人能给他们提供帮助，”弗吉尼亚理工大学老年病学中心主任karena.roberto说。“友谊是一种被低估的资源，持续的研究都表明友谊能让你的生活变得更美好！”
