Geriatric medicine is a medical specialty focused on providing care for the unique health needs of older adults. Geriatric care requires an interdisciplinary approach involving physicians, neurologists, nephrologists, and cardiologists along with nursing care, pharmacy, and rehabilitation. Elderly adults have multiple medical conditions and age-associated changes in physiology increase their susceptibility to disease and death. Further, common diseases may present atypically in the elderly, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Elderly people require specific attention to medications owing to their advanced age, and their ability to metabolize and respond to drug changes.
