About

    Geriatric patients refers to a specific population of older adults, typically those aged 65 and older, who have unique medical and healthcare needs due to the physiological changes associated with aging. Research in this area focuses on understanding and addressing the complex health issues that affect older adults, such as chronic diseases, cognitive decline, functional limitations, and multiple comorbidities. The goals of research in geriatric patients include improving quality of life, promoting healthy aging, managing chronic conditions, and enhancing healthcare outcomes in this vulnerable population. Studies may examine various aspects of geriatric care, including medication management, cognitive assessments, mobility and fall prevention, end-of-life care, and caregiver support. As the global population continues to age, research in geriatric patients is becoming increasingly important for developing effective interventions and strategies to optimize the health and well-being of older adults.
