The fifth edition of this text presents a comprehensive and state-of the-art update that incorporates existing literature, clinical experience, and over 40 new peer-reviewed chapters. Written by interdisciplinary and interprofessional experts in geriatric medicine, this book serves as an unparalleled resource for all clinicians serving the needs of aging patients, the most rapidly increasing demographic across all nations. The book begins with a brief review of the basic science before delving into the most common symptoms, diseases, and syndromes as they present in older patients. With a new focus on patient centered care, this edition guides professionals of all specialties who may or may not be familiar with the unique needs of aging patients. The book covers the topics most vital to the previous edition—acute and chronic pain, home care, frailty, and others—while also including as well as new concepts of equal importance, such as deprescribing, concepts in person centered and integrated care, and multimorbidity. Geriatric Medicine, Fifth Edition, serves as the ultimate guide for all medical professionals encountering older patients, including those with or without training in geriatric medicine, general practitioners, subspecialists, hospitalists, nurses and all others.

Recent years have seen a growing interest in the questions of ethics and aging. Advances in medical technology have created dilemmas for physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals over such questions as the allocation of resources and a patient's "right to die."

Moody examines both the clinical and the policy issues that center around aging.
