In traditional geriatrics, the study and treatment of diseases follow the same criteria of general medicine, i.e., the diseases are first of all divided according to the affected anatomical or functional system. For example, in the Broklehurst’s Textbook of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology (Fillit et al. 2017), the subject is divided into the sections Cardiovascular system, Respiratory system, Nervous system, Musculoskeletal system, Gastroenterology, Urinary tract, Women’s health, Endocrinology, Hematology and Oncology, Skin and Special senses, which mirrors the division of general medicine into various specializations. |
