What is important is the different approach by the physician to the geriatric patient. First of all, the geriatric patient often has multiple diseases, with symptoms overlapping with each other, so collecting the medical history can often be difficult. Frequent mental confusion is another aspect that sometimes makes it difficult to approach such a patient. Another aspect to consider is the particular &#8220;frailty&#8221; of the elderly patient, due to both necessarily chronic treatments and the reduction, with advancing age, of the biological systems designed to maintain homeostasis (internal balance).<br \/>\nThe most frequent geriatric diseases are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Senile dementia<\/li>\n<li>Alzheimer&#8217;s syndrome<\/li>\n<li>Osteoporosis<\/li>\n<li>Osteoarthritis resulting in difficulty in patient movement;<\/li>\n<li>COPD<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes mellitus type 2 (with related visual disorders)<\/li>\n<li>Stipsi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;5&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;0&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;100&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; style=&#8221;inherited&#8221; el_class=&#8221;all_medici&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;174837&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_horizontal=&#8221;left&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; style=&#8221;light&#8221; font_family=&#8221;font-116733&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;736540&#8243;][vc_custom_heading separator=&#8221;yes&#8221; separator_color=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;161778&#8243;]Referring specialists[\/vc_custom_heading][uncode_index el_id=&#8221;index-15588655905&#8243; index_type=&#8221;css_grid&#8221; loop=&#8221;size:30|order_by:date|order:DESC|post_type:page|tax_query:173|taxonomy_count:10&#8243; screen_lg_items=&#8221;3&#8243; screen_lg_breakpoint=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md_items=&#8221;2&#8243; screen_md_breakpoint=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm_items=&#8221;1&#8243; screen_sm_breakpoint=&#8221;480&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; page_items=&#8221;media|featured|onpost|original,title,category|nobg|relative|display-icon&#8221; single_overlay_color=&#8221;color-wayh&#8221; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;40&#8243; single_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; single_title_family=&#8221;font-116733&#8243; single_title_dimension=&#8221;fontsize-160000&#8243; single_title_transform=&#8221;capitalize&#8221; single_shadow=&#8221;yes&#8221; shadow_weight=&#8221;sm&#8221; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_half_padding=&#8221;&#8221; single_title_bold=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_title_serif=&#8221;&#8221; single_title_divider=&#8221;&#8221; single_no_background=&#8221;&#8221; items=&#8221;e30=&#8221; footer_position=&#8221;left&#8221; carousel_rtl=&#8221;&#8221; single_icon=&#8221;fa fa-plus2&#8243; filtering_transform=&#8221;uppercase&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;132538&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geriatrics is a medical discipline that studies diseases occurring in the elderly and their disabling consequences with the fundamental goal of delaying functional and mental decline while maintaining self-sufficiency and the best quality of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":129849,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-128570","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","page_category-medical-activities"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
