Geriatric Medicine


This new edition
of a critically-acclaimed text, completely revised and updated, offers
practical and comprehensive coverage of the diseases, common problems,
and medical care of older
persons. Building on the third edition, this revision will present a new
approach focusing on Evidence-Based Medicine, with new chapters
including: Physiology of Aging, Clinical Strategies of Prescribing for
Older Adults, Chronic Disease Management, Prevention, Doctor-Patient
Communication Issues, Sources of Suffering in the Elderly, and many
others. In addition, there will be a separate chapter on Evidence-Based
Geriatrics, as well as sidebars in every chapter, where applicable, on
Evidence-Based Medicine. This will be an all-encompassing, authoritative
volume on geriatric medicine, needed more than ever because the over-80
population is the fastest growing age group in the country
