Geriatrics

Introduction:

It is important to recognize that older adults are a diverse group of people who experience some common changes as they age. Older adults are not the same as younger adults, and the age-related changes that are present will affect the care provided. The numbers and percentages of older adults are continuing to rise; they are now the core business of health care, using the majority of health care services. Being aware of age-related changes will help health care professionals provide sensitive and effective age-appropriate care.
