Old Age
In most developed countries, older people comprise
20% of the population and are the chief users of
health care. While they contract the same diseases as
those who are younger, there are often important
differences in the way they present and how they are
best managed.
‘In Old Age’ boxes
describe common presentations,
implications of physiological changes of ageing, effects
of age on investigations, problems of treatment, and the
benefits and risks of intervention in older people.
