Gerontology

Healthcare and Medical

Gerontology is the multidisciplinary study of aging and older adults, covering the biological, psychological, and social aspects of growing old. Practitioners include researchers, healthcare workers, and social service professionals who work on issues like age-related disease, cognitive decline, elder care policy, and quality of life for seniors. It differs from geriatrics, which is the medical specialty focused specifically on treating diseases in older patients.
