AnnotationGiven that people are likely to experience periods of disability in later life, geriatricians have an essential role in conveying information to family doctors on the difference between normal ageing and pathology. The authors outline evolution in the methodology, history and future orientations of geriatrics as a medical discipline, and some objectives for promoting health care for the elderly.
