Global Summit on Geriatrics & Aging April 18-19, 2023 Dubai, UAE

Therapy can help older people struggling with age changes, find new sources of joy, and discover new support systems. Many older adults are also seeking and receiving treatment for more non-age-related mental health issues than ever before. This is likely because as awareness grows, attitudes toward mental health issues are beginning to change.

As life expectancy continues to increase in developed countries, the prevalence of emotional and psychiatric disorders, such as depression, among older people is also increasing. There are many effective therapeutic approaches and activities aimed at increasing the resilience of older people.

Geriatric syndrome is a term used to describe a range of clinical conditions prevalent in the elderly. These syndromes are not caused by specific medical conditions or diseases, but are manifestations of multifactorial conditions affecting multiple organ systems. Common conditions include weakness, loss of function, falls, incontinence, and malnutrition.

Functional capacity, independence, and quality of life are of great importance to geriatricians and their patients. Older people generally want to live independently for as long as possible and need to be able to participate in self-care and other activities of daily living. A geriatrician can provide information about care options for the elderly and may be able to refer you to home care services, advanced nursing homes, and hospice if needed.

Cardiogeriatrics is the branch of cardiology and geriatrics that deals with cardiovascular disease in older people. Heart disease, such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and coronary artery disease, including arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, are common and a leading cause of death in the elderly. Vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease cause significant morbidity and mortality in the elderly.

The genetics of aging are generally associated with extended lifespans associated with genetic mutations, rather than accelerated diseases of aging that result in shortened lifespans. Aging affects physiological function and can be defined as the accumulation of damage to molecules, cells, and tissues over a lifetime. It reduces the body's ability to maintain homeostasis under stressful conditions, often increasing the risk of many diseases (cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease) and premature death.

Advances in healthcare are leading older people to live longer and more active lives. However, they are increasingly affected by a variety of age-related ailments, including certain eye diseases that can lead to disability and blindness.

Geriatric Optometry is used to study age-related general and ocular physiological changes, common geriatric systemic and ocular diseases, clinical treatment of geriatric patients, pharmacological aspects of aging, and prescription eyewear in geriatric patients. Treat the sides.

Clinical Gerontology is a unit within the Department of Public Health and Primary Care dedicated to understanding how best to keep older people healthy. Its overall research goals quantify the combined role of lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors in the aetiology of major disability diseases in later life, with a particular focus on cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. Identifying effective prevention strategies.

Gerontology refers to the social, cultural, psychological, cognitive, and biological aspects of aging. Gerontology is the study of aging and the elderly. As longevity improved, the science of gerontology advanced. Researchers in this field are diverse and trained in areas such as physiology, social sciences, psychology, public health, and politics.

Gerontology includes:

• A scientific study of the processes associated with bodily changes during middle and later life.
• Interdisciplinary study of social changes caused by population aging, from the humanities (history, philosophy, literature, etc.) to economics

Societal aging can affect economic growth, work and retirement patterns, family functioning, the ability of governments and communities to allocate appropriate resources to older people, and the prevalence of chronic diseases and disabilities.

Population aging affects all aspects of society, including health, social security, education, socio-cultural activities, family life, and ultimately the labour market. They have also thought a lot about how raising the retirement age would alleviate this labour shortage. With regard to care for the elderly, a sustained decline in fertility rates may inevitably lead to shortages of paid and unpaid caregivers, especially for the elderly. The social and economic provision of care continues to create gender dilemmas in society by limiting the range of employment opportunities for women.

Elder abuse can be defined as “a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship, where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person.”

Elder abuse generally means either an act of commission which may be either intentional or unintentional. Abuse of elders generally results in unnecessary sufferings, injury, pain, loss or violation of human rights and a decrease in the quality of life for the elders.Lawyers have a great opportunity to provide proactive assistance with both legal matters and many practical issues to avoid problems. Here are some of the elements that work well in all areas from strengths to weaknesses to combat the burning problem that seriously affects Gray hair in a happy life.

In humans, aging represents the accumulation of individual changes over time and can include physical, psychological and social changes. For example, reaction times slow with age. Memory and general knowledge usually increase.

Since rejuvenation is the opposite of aging, alternative strategies are needed to repair age-related damage or replace damaged tissue with new tissue. Rejuvenation can be a means of prolonging life, but most survival strategies do not include rejuvenation. Rejuvenation is not the same as prolonging life. Life-prolonging strategies often look at the causes of aging and try to counteract these causes in order to slow aging.

Geriatric rehabilitation (GR) aims to restore function or improve residual function and improve quality of life in older people, especially those with disabilities and frailty. Current rehabilitation practice focuses on function and well-being, not just illness. Rehabilitation of geriatric patients helps maintain functional independence and improve quality of life.

Geriatric diseases are specific abnormal conditions that adversely affect older people and are not directly related to conditions commonly experienced by older people. As more and more older people experience age-related changes, geriatrics is becoming an important part of their health care. Elderly patients dealing with chronic illnesses may benefit from the support of a home care team. In addition to a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle, regular contact with a trusted health care professional may help. By taking it, you can prevent health problems.

Osteoporosis is a type of disease caused by a decrease in bone mass and density, resulting in brittle bones. As a result, risk factors such as bone, spine, and hip fractures increase, and bones are usually porous in older people. Older people are more likely to develop osteoporosis than younger people. It is a silent disease with no symptoms associated with bone loss. A lifelong inadequate supply of calcium may contribute to the development of osteoporosis.

In general, hearing loss increases gradually with age and is one of the most common chronic diseases in older adults, along with arthritis and hypertension.

Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, occurs gradually as you get older. It can be caused by changes in the inner ear or auditory nerve. Presbycusis can make it difficult for a person to tolerate loud noises or hear what others are saying. Affects both ears equally. Because the loss is gradual, people with presbycusis may not be aware that they have lost some of their hearing.

Dementia is the loss of memory and other mental abilities. Up to 7% of adults over the age of 60 suffer from dementia. In addition to memory, language, and decision-making problems, dementia can cause other symptoms. These include mood swings such as increased irritability, depression and anxiety. This includes changes in personality and behavior.

Geriatric psychiatry specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and emotional disorders in older adults. Common disorders in older patients are dementia, depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, substance abuse, and sleep disorders.

Population aging brings about important changes on many levels. From antiquity to his 19th century, human life expectancy doubled from the 20 to 40 years. However, this life expectancy rapidly doubled from his 19th century to his 20th century to her 80, and increased steadily in the 21st century. This fact poses important socioeconomic and health challenges. Aging brings greater care needs associated with primary aging (body changes due to aging) and secondary aging (risks increase with age). Undoubtedly, cancer risk increases exponentially with age. About 60% of cancers occur in people over the age of 65. Additionally, approximately 70% of cancer deaths occur at this stage. Cancer is therefore a disease of aging. Given the increasing incidence of cancer and quality of life in the elderly population, special approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and survival of elderly cancer patients are needed.
