Geriatrics present medical care for the elderly, an age group that is not easy to define precisely. While aging biology refers to the inevitable, irreversible decline in organ function that occurs over time even in the absence of injury, illness, environmental risks, or poor lifestyle choices. For instance, prescribing medications for a patient with multiple health problems is more complex. A drug that might be useful in treating one health problem can make another problem worse, and be taking multiple medications can cause problematic drug interactions and side effects.
 
 
 
Chronic diseases have a serious impact on the health of an elderly people. There are so many chronic conditions that seem to afflict older persons of their mistaken perception example; glaucoma, lung disease, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, cardiovascular disease.

Geriatric medicine especially centers its focus on health care of elderly people. Its objective is to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults. It offers a more holistic approach to patient care than organ-based internal-medicine specialties. At this time, researchers finalized that, geriatric medicine is apart from a standard adult medicine which deals with elderly people disorders, diseases, and medication, and also specialized in the health care of old, preventing and treating them in the right way.  So, this conference can help to team up with the approaches of geriatricians, nurse, nutritionist, physician assistant, geriatric psychiatrists to explore ideas which will be useful in continuing further research.
 
 
 
Up to 60% -70% of cancer mortality occurs in persons aged 65 years and above. The number of cancer patients over the age of 65 is projected to significantly increase over the next 20 years. Historically, clinical trial enrollment of older adults has not reflected the more general population of older patients with cancer due primarily to: one the low overall numbers of older patients enrolled and another is overly strict inclusion criteria leading to the enrollment of primarily healthy, “fit” older adults. It is very difficult to extrapolate clinical trial data to inform treatment decisions of older patients with cancer who are more vulnerable to adverse outcomes due to underlying health issues.

Rejuvenation can be a means of life extension, but most life extension strategies do not involve rejuvenation.

The issue of undernourishment will have a tendency to end up plainly lesser as far as both supreme numbers influenced and, considerably more, in relative terms, subsequently it will turn out to be more tractable through arrangement mediations, both national and international. Now that you have all the data you require on eating healthy, the most vital activity step you can do is to keep up this direction for living however much as could be expected. Post purposes when you require inspiration from others. Keep a journal of your sustenance decisions on your blog or diary. Converse with other individuals when you are feeling enticed to enjoy undesirable pastries.
