Maliz - Centro medico a Rho (Milano)

Geriatrics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the health and well-being of elderly individuals, addressing the issues related to aging and chronic diseases that may arise with advanced age. The primary goal of geriatrics is to improve the quality of life for seniors by promoting physical, mental, and social well-being.

Geriatrics differs from general medicine in that it concentrates on the unique needs and requirements of elderly patients. While traditional medicine often focuses on acute and treatable diseases, geriatrics primarily deals with chronic conditions and multiple health issues that define advanced age, aiming to improve the overall health of elderly patients.

With the increase in life expectancy, geriatrics is becoming an increasingly vital part of the global healthcare system. Older individuals often suffer from multiple simultaneous conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, arthritis, and dementia, all of which require an integrated, multidisciplinary approach.

Our specialists are also available to arrange home visits for patients who have difficulty or are unable to visit the clinic.
