Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of geriatrics is expanding globally, driven by changing demographics. Older individuals exhibit diverse clinical profiles, marked not only by their advanced age but also by the presence of multiple chronic diseases as well as problems in the functional and psychosocial domain.
As precision medicine and personalized treatment approaches advance rapidly, new possibilities emerge in caring for geriatric patients. Tailoring treatment strategies to each patient's specific health status helps strike the right balance between over-treatment and under-treatment, aligning better with the preferences of elderly individuals.
In this Special Issue, we will explore the current state, challenges, opportunities, perspectives, and research directions within geriatrics, with a particular emphasis on enhancing treatment outcomes and the quality of life for this unique demographic. We encourage clinicians and scientists in the field to submit original articles or reviews that align with these objectives.
