En réponse à l'exceptionnel accroissement de la longévité, il est nécessaire de prévenir le vieillissement pathologique des personnes à partir de 50 ans. Selon les mots du Pr Bruno Vellas, chef du gérontopôle de Toulouse, « Maintenir les fonctions (cognitives, mobilité, visuelles, auditives...) avec l'avance en âge : tel est le grand challenge de la gérontologie. Il est temps maintenant que l'on puisse travailler à un stade plus précoce comme l'ont fait avant nous de nombreuses spécialités telles que la cancérologie ou la cardiologie. » Cette 3e édition a été totalement revue de façon à être beaucoup plus facile à utiliser et plus complète. Elle est enrichie de 20 chapitres entièrement inédits. Parmi les nouveaux thèmes abordés, on peut citer : l'alimentation, la fragilité, les gérontechnologies, les centenaires et les supercentenaires. Les outils de dépistage développés ces dernières années, en particulier dans le cadre de l'évaluation gérontologique standardisée, sont également inclus.
