• Abstract:

  Modern geriatrics faces challenges such as the increase in age-related chronic diseases and the growing demand for health services adapted to the elderly. However, significant advances have been made, including innovative treatments, patient-centered care models, and health promotion initiatives. These advances are improving the quality of life of seniors, allowing them to live more independently and healthily. To continue progress, it is crucial to invest in research, education and health policies that promote active and healthy aging. In doing so, we can build a more inclusive and compassionate society, where aging is seen as an opportunity for growth and meaningful connection. Modern geriatrics plays a key role in this process, ensuring that older people receive high-quality care and maintain a good quality of life.
