Description: Geriatric Care is a compilation of carefully chosen topics pertaining to Clinical Geriatrics and Gerontology. The chapters have been written by authors with wide ranging experience in treating the elderly, especially in India. This approach has been rendered necessary by the fact that the problems of the Indian elderly differ from their American or European contemporaries due to differences in race, nutrition, socioeconomic factors and climatic conditions. Since this book provides a comprehensive account of the care needed for the Indian elderly, it will be an asset for family physicians also who treat elderly patients. Geriatrics is a multi-discipline speciality that has been added to the academic curricula of Medical Colleges. This book will therefore prove a competent guide for Medical Students in general, and students of Geriatrics in particular, who will find everything they need to know within the cover of a single volume. The socioeconomical and legal subjects will help the practitioner in helping their patients in subjects other than medical. The inclusion of subjects like epidemiology and hospital setup will make it useful for planners as well.
