This is a historical milestone in the history of humanity. We have never lived so long before. In these circumstances, giving the best care to older adults efficiently is one of the greatest challenges of developed countries. This book explores different initiatives that result in the improvement of health conditions of older adults, such as multicomponent physical exercise programs, interventions that try to avoid loneliness and social isolation, and multidisciplinary assessment, and the treatment of frailty and other geriatric syndromes, of the elderly in various settings such as the Emergency Unit, Orthogeriatrics, and Oncogeriatrics. This book offers different manuscripts to readers, each trying to improve life satisfaction, quality of life, and life expectancy in older adults in different scenarios. It is up to us to achieve these goals. We are sure that these interesting chapters will contribute to improving clinical practices. Following the completion of the Special Issue "Health Care for Older Adults" for the international Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, the Guest Editors felt the satisfaction of having reached 18 published manuscripts and the possibility of transforming this volume into a book. This book was born from the need to show how health and social advances have increased human longevity as never before. We live longer, knowing more and more the epigenetic mechanisms of this longevity, as extended aging also coexists with the least favorable aging trajectories. Among them, a syndrome stands out from the gerontological and geriatric perspective: frailty. Due to the pandemic, a social problem has increased its presence in clinical practice: ageism. Older adults have found it difficult to access the necessary clinical resources due to the simple matter of age. However, at this moment, we are able to detect and to reverse frailty. In the same way, we should aim to prevent loneliness and social isolation, involved in social frailty. Geriatric syndromes are underdiagnosed and undertreated, but clinical and geriatric knowledge provide diagnostic tools and non-pharmacological approaches to prevent and to treat them. All health professionals working together in an interdisciplinary team could improve the clinical practices to develop a quality health care for older adults, improving their life satisfaction and quality of life perception too.Public health and preventive medicinebicsscaccidental fallsaged peopleageingaginganticholinergic drugsBeers criteriabody temperatureCiteSpacecolorectal cancercomprehensive geriatric assessmentCOVID-19cutaneous temperaturedeliriumdementiaDNA methylationEichner indexelderlyenvironmental temperatureexercisefeasibilityfracture fixationfrailtyfrailty indexfunctional capacityfunctional recoverygait recoverygeriatricgeriatric assessmentgeriatric liaisongeriatric syndromeshealthy aginghip fracturehip fracture surgeryhip fractureshistonesimaginginappropriate prescribinginfrared thermographyintertrochanteric fracturesknowledge domain visualizationlife satisfactionlonelinessmachine learning techniquemappingmasticatory functionmaximum occlusal forcemedical prescriptions for chronic pathologiesmental healthmortalitymulticomponent programsmultidisciplinary caren/aneck stabilization exercisenon-coding RNAnonspecific neck painnursingoccupational functionoccupational therapyolder adultsorthogeriatric carepharmacoepidemiologyphysical activitypneumoniaposterior occlusal supportpotentially inappropriate medicationpredictive modelprimary health careprognostic factorspsychometricsqualitative researchrandom forestreliabilityremovable prosthesesresearch hotspotsalt packskin blood flowsocial capitalsocial frailtysocial isolationsocial networksocial relationshipsstanding motionSTOPP/STARTThaithermal comfortthermal sensationthermotherapyvalidityPublic health and preventive medicineTarazona Santabalbina Francisco Joséedt1339014Santaeugènia Gonzàlez Sebastià JosepedtGarcía Navarro José AugustoedtViña JoséedtTarazona Santabalbina Francisco JoséothSantaeugènia Gonzàlez Sebastià JosepothGarcía Navarro José AugustoothViña JoséothBOOK9910674043803321Health Care for Older Adults3059515UNINA01084nam0 22002771i 450 UON0022340420231205103425.25020030730d1973 |0itac50 baitaGERIT|||| 1||||Tradurre in tedescoHans HinterhäuserFirenzeValmartina Editore1973184 p.21 cm.Lingua tedescaManuali per italianiUONC037309FILingua TedescaTraduzioniUONC042504FIITFirenzeUONL000052438Uso (Linguistica applicata, Linguistica prescrittiva) del tedesco standard.21HinterhauserHansUONV1286830ValmartinaUONV246731650ITSOL20251003RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00223404SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI TED 3 HIN 01 SI LO 2154 7 01 BuonoTradurre in tedesco1268535UNIOR
