summary

In geriatric medicine and gerontology textbooks, geriatric syndromes are defined as multifactorial and complex health problems unique to older adults, which cannot be easily controlled or treated with conventional disease knowledge. This book, compiled by doctoral graduates in gerontology and geriatric medicine, presents 15 chapters covering sleep disorders, osteoarthritis, frailty, urinary incontinence, polypharmacy, osteoporosis, delirium, dementia, pressure ulcers, elder abuse, dizziness, falls, syncope, malnutrition, sensory problems (vision and hearing), and constipation. By drawing on specialized references, the book provides a comprehensive resource for clinicians, researchers, and students in geriatric medicine and gerontology.
