Summary/Abstract: The review concerns the Czech translation of a publication based on the results of the multinational MOPACT study. The reviewer states that since high quality studies of this type are not commonly available in Czech, this translation is particularly welcome, inter alia, as suitable reading material for students interested in social gerontology. However, the publication should not be read as a stand-alone monograph. In addition to the substantive content of the review, the opportunity it provides to become acquainted with research projects funded by large European research institutions is also particularly beneficial. According to the reviewer, with one exception, all the chapters of the study are written at a very high professional level and provide information that can be used as the basis for addressing questions on various thematic contexts.
