About this title

Synopsis

As populations age across the world, healthcare professionals face increasingly complex challenges involving chronic disease, frailty, cognitive decline, functional impairment, rehabilitation, medication management, and long-term care. Geriatric Medicine: Evidence-Based Clinical Practice, Surgery, Rehabilitation, and Long-Term Care provides a comprehensive and practical resource for understanding the unique medical, functional, psychological, and social needs of older adults.

Designed for physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, therapists, students, educators, researchers, and healthcare administrators, this reference explores the full spectrum of modern geriatric care from the biology of aging and comprehensive geriatric assessment to rehabilitation, chronic disease management, surgical care, cognitive disorders, medication safety, and healthy longevity.
Rather than focusing solely on diseases, this book emphasizes preserving function, maintaining independence, promoting resilience, and enhancing quality of life. Readers will gain practical insights into evidence-based approaches that support patient-centered care and improve outcomes for older adults in diverse healthcare settings.

What Makes This Book Different?
This text integrates clinical medicine, rehabilitation science, gerontology, public health, and long-term care into a single evidence-informed resource. It addresses topics often underrepresented in traditional references, including frailty assessment, person-centered care, caregiver burden, healthy aging, social vulnerability, and the practical application of comprehensive geriatric principles across healthcare settings.
Whether used as a professional reference, educational resource, or clinical guide, this book provides readers with the knowledge and tools needed to support healthy aging, improve functional outcomes, and deliver compassionate care to one of the fastest-growing populations worldwide.
