What is Geriatrics (Elderly Health)?

Every person living in the world has the right to age peacefully and healthily in a safe environment. Many conditions such as the environment we live in, some traumas, genetic diseases, acute conditions prevent people from living a healthy life. Unfortunately, not every individual has access to privileged services and follow-up during aging and illness to meet their own health needs.


A longer social, family and individual life span can create new opportunities for everyone. Elderly individuals should be able to live actively in society and contribute to society in many ways. However, the primary and most important condition for this is that the elderly should be healthy.

Globally, the number of people over the age of 60-65 will steadily increase in the coming years. Health and care services should gain a perspective by taking these statistics into account. Societies that adapt to this changing age balance will be successful in the future. Societies that adapt to this structure and invest in healthy and active aging will provide individuals with a healthier and longer life, and will increase their gains in economic and many other ways.

Aging is the irreversible functional and structural changes at the level of cells, tissues, organs and organs with the progression of chronological age.
