ABOUT GERIATRICS
Geriatrics, often known as geriatric medicine, is a medical speciality that focuses on the care of the aged. Its goal is to improve older folks’ health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities.
Geriatric medicine is distinct from regular adult medicine in that it concentrates on the special requirements of the elderly. The elderly body differs physiologically from the younger adult body, and the decrease of numerous organ systems becomes apparent as people get older. In various persons, previous health concerns and lifestyle choices cause a different constellation of diseases and symptoms. The manifestation of symptoms is determined by the organs’ remaining healthy reserves. Smokers, for example, rapidly deplete their respiratory system reserve.
Geriatricians distinguish between illnesses and typical ageing effects. Renal deterioration, for example, is a natural component of ageing, but renal failure and urine incontinence are not. Geriatricians work to cure existing disorders and promote healthy ageing.
Significant diseases that may affect elderly people are,
Dementia
Arthritis
Palliative Care
Osteoporosis
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Parkinson's Disease
Atherosclerosis
Heart Disease
High Blood Pressure
High Cholesterol
Diabetes
