In low-and middle-income countries，heart diseases and cancer get more attention than chronic（慢性的）diseases．However，researchers say that great importance should be given to chronic diseases of the brain and mind．As the population ages， the society will have to deal with more and more cases of dementia．The study shows that the elderly is nine percent of the total population in low-and middle-income countries today．However，the number is growing quickly．It is likely to reach twenty percent of the total population by the middle of the century．

If peace is more your thing，try Mary Pipher’s wonderful new book，Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World（Riverhead）．Mary is a lovely，comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way．Even if you’ve never experienced life as a bestselling writer（as she has done，in her book years back，Reviving Ophelia），you’ll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy，distance and quiet．

What if you want a straightforward，totally thrilling read with vivid characters，set about World WarⅡ?You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer’s new novel，Oh，Johnny（Random House）， about a young marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war．His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship，and there is an impressive ending．See our interview with the productive novelist and newsman in the current issue of Reader’s Digest（March， on stands now），by the way，for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him．
