Principles & Practice of Geriatric Medicine 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 faced by the Indian elderly differ from their American or European contemporaries due to differences in race, nutrition, family set up, socioeconomic factors and climatic conditions. Since this book provides a comprehensive account of the care needed by the Indian elderly, it will be an asset for family physicians who treat elderly patients. Besides treatment part, preventive strategies relevant to our country have also been included. Geriatric Medicine is a multidisciplinary branch of Medical Sciences 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 a single volume. The reader/treating doctor will be able to answer the queries of their patients in other fields related to them like financial, legal and constitutional matters. The inclusion of subjects like epidemiology and hospital setup will make it useful for planners as well.
