The third edition of this text provides primary care physicians and residents in geriatric medicine with a clinical guide to treating elderly patients. Extensively revised and updated, it covers all aspects of the diagnosis and management of common problems presenting in elderly patients. The book also covers many of the non-clinical problems which often cause complications in the patient, such as social and environmental problems, dementia, incontinence and instability and falling. There is also a thoroughly updated section on geriatric pharmacology.
