| An aged human body differs from a younger body in physiology, particularly due to the gradual decline of the different organ systems with age. This decline is significantly influenced by past medical history and lifestyle choices. Some of the major impairments in the elderly include incontinence, immobility, instability and impaired memory/intellect. Elderly people may suffer from multiple complications and hence need special focus on medications. Geriatrics or geriatric medicine is a specialization in healthcare medicine, which is concerned with the treatment and prevention of diseases and disabilities in the elderly. Some of the geriatric-related services or specializations in geriatric medicine include cardiogeriatrics, geriatric nephrology, geriatric oncology, psychogeriatrics, etc. A geriatrician aims to achieve independence, continued functional abilities and quality of life in their patients. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of geriatrics. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques of geriatric medicine. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts. |
