Geriatrics is a medical specialty focused on the health care, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease in older adults, addressing the unique physical, cognitive, and social needs that come with aging. Geriatricians and geriatric care teams manage chronic conditions, polypharmacy, frailty, dementia, and mobility issues, often coordinating care across multiple specialists to maintain quality of life for elderly patients. It is increasingly important as aging populations grow globally.
