Geriatric syndromes and Practical concerns
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.
