(CENSA) was established because there is insufficient local research data on the
ageing process, diseases and ailments that afflict Seniors. It is headed on a
voluntary basis by Professor Kua Ee Heok, Former Head,
Department of Psychological Medicine, National
University of Singapore. The Centre has a research committee comprising of
multi-disciplinary professionals. Research data are released through
publications, media and public symposia. Through Prof. Kua’s
efforts, SAGE published its first book “A Ripe Old Age” (English and Chinese
editions) in November 1998 and a second book “Doctor, I’m Worried” (Chinese
edition) in March 2000. This is an effort to inform the public on various
aspects of the ageing process. The third book “Long Lives” (English edition),
a 5-year longitudinal psycho social survey on 3000 Seniors and published in
2004.
Mailing service can be arranged at
an additional fee of S$5.00 per book. _______________________________
