Geriatrics is a branch of medicine focused on the care and treatment of elderly individuals. It involves the study of aging, age-related diseases, and the specific healthcare needs of older adults. Geriatricians are trained to address the unique medical, psychological, and social issues that can arise as people age. They work to improve the quality of life and overall well-being of elderly patients through comprehensive assessments, personalized treatment plans, and preventative care measures. Geriatrics also encompasses research on age-related conditions such as dementia, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease, as well as the impact of aging on cognitive function, mobility, and overall health. Through ongoing research and advancements in geriatric medicine, healthcare professionals strive to optimize the care and outcomes for older adults.
