Geriatrics is a medical specialty focused on the care of elderly people (typically over 70 years). The goal of geriatric medicine is to identify functional deficits (e.g., mobility, cognition, mood) caused by acute illness in the context of geriatric-typical multimorbidity and to treat them with appropriate (early) rehabilitative measures. This helps restore and maintain the patient’s independence and quality of life for as long as possible.
