FROM THE EDITORS
This issue of the Journal, volume 10, number 4, marks a milestone-ten years of publication. It seems a very good time to thank all of the many people who contributed to the Journal during the last ten years. These include contributing editors, editorial board members, book reviewers and, of course, the authors who submit their work for publication. First, our appreciation to Lorraine Boykin-Stith, EdD, RD, Professor Emerita, Hunter College-Bellevue School of Nursing, City University of New York, who launched the Journal and edited the first volume. Professor Boykin-Stith continues to be involved and serves as an editorial board member. We are fortunate to have two contributing editors who help readers keep current with literature and practice in the field of geriatric nutrition. Lorraine E. Matthews, MS, RD, Institutional Food Services Director for the City of Philadelphia, began "Nutrition Management in Long-Term Care" in Fall, 1982 (Volume 2, No. 1). She continues to distill her extensive experience into insightful articles. Norma B. Imershein, MA, RD, Nutrition ~ons"1tant and Adjunct Assistant Professor, School of Nursing, Adelphi University, began "From the Journals" in Fall, 1983 (Volume 3, No. 1). Ms. Imershein draws on her background in teaching and food service to Journal of Nutrition for the Elderly, Vol. 10(4) 1991 O 1991 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.

In the Winter, 1983 (Volume 3, No. 2) issue Alan Balsam, PhD, RD, Director, Division of Elderly Health, Department of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, became cookbook reviewer. His witty, careful, comprehensive reviews are fun to read. He continues to tell us all we need to know to make the right cookbook choices. These reviews serve as valuable resources when making recommendations to older clients. We are fortunate to have concerned, cooperative members of our editorial board who review and, when needed, offer helpful suggestions to increase the value of works that have been submitted for publication. Current members of the editorial board are listed on the masthead in each issue of the Journal. We thank them for their efforts and also thank the following former board members: Anthony A.

worldwide greying. In 1989, 5.8% of the world's population was over 65. This percentage is expected to increase to 9.3% by the year 2025. The percentage of older adults is disproportionate throughout the world. Europe, North America, USSR and Oceania have higher than average elderly populations, while in less developed countries such as Latin America, South Asia and Africa there are fewer than average. Issues of concern to an aging population may cause conflicts among generations particularly in less developed countries with limited resources. The special needs of the older segment of the population must be considered within the context of the needs of all persons and society's ability to respond to these needs. As more interest is focused on the needs and care of the elderly, more information will be obtained that can be utilized as the basis for planning strategies that will improve the quality of.life for older adults without depending on an inordinate share of the available resources. We see the next decade as one in which many of the emerging trends of the 1980's will demand action. Improving the delivery of nutrition care remains a key issue. It is our hope that the journal can serve a significant role in disseminating information as a means to that end. ABN
