What are the benefits of geriatric medicine?

Geriatric medicine offers a high level of care to address age-related challenges like:

Geriatric disease

Age-related biological changes increase a person’s risk of chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and Alzheimer’s disease.

Multiple chronic illnesses

Older people are at increased risk for health complications when they have two or more chronic conditions. And taking more than one medication to treat several diseases can contribute to complex medicinal challenges.

Mental and emotional health problems

Seniors are at a higher risk of psychological problems like depression and anxiety due to underlying medical concerns and changes in their personal and social environments.

Loss of function

Cognitive and physical decline significantly affects an older person’s mobility, independence, and ability to care for themselves.
