Over the past two decades there has been a marked change in global
age demographics, with the number of over-60s increasing by 82% and
the number of centenarians by 715%. This new-found longevity is
testament to the success of recent advances in medicine, but poses
significant challenges to multiple areas of health care concerning
older patients. Building upon its predecessor's reputation as the
definitive resource on the subject, this new edition of the Oxford
Textbook of Geriatric Medicine offers a comprehensive and
multinational examination of the field. Fully revised to reflect
the current state of geriatric medicine, it examines the medical
and scientific basis of clinical issues, as well as the ethical,
legal, and socio-economic concerns for healthcare policy and
systems. Over 170 chapters are broken up into 16 key sections,
covering topics ranging from policy and key concepts through to
infection, cancer, palliative medicine, and healthy ageing. New
material includes focus on the evolving concepts of malnutrition,
sarcopenia, frailty, and related geriatric syndromes and
integration of geriatric principles from public health, primary and
specialized care, and transitional stages from home to emergency,
medicine and surgery, rehabilitation, and long term care. The
Oxford Textbook of Geriatric Medicine brings together specialists
from across the globe to provide every physician involved in the
care of older patients with a comprehensive resource on all the
clinical problems they are likely to encounter, as well as on
related psychological, philosophical, and social issues.
