Geriatrics and Geriatric Medicine
Geriatrics Medicine is the specialty that deals with illnesses, diseases and medicines of the elderly. Geriatrics specializes in the health care, prevention and treatment of older people. Geriatrics requires a team approach of geriatricians, nurses, nutritionists and physician assistants.
It is common for older people to suffer from multiple medical conditions and multiple morbidities. Age-related changes in physiology lead to increased susceptibility to disease, disease-related morbidity, and mortality. In addition, common diseases in elderly patients may present themselves atypically, adding to the diagnostic and therapeutic complexity of patient care.
