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. 606 $aPublic health & preventive medicine$2bicssc 610 $aneck stabilization exercise 610 $anonspecific neck pain 610 $asalt pack 610 $athermotherapy 610 $aanticholinergic drugs 610 $apneumonia 610 $aelderly 610 $apotentially inappropriate medication 610 $apharmacoepidemiology 610 $ainfrared thermography 610 $acutaneous temperature 610 $askin blood flow 610 $adementia 610 $abody temperature 610 $athermal sensation 610 $athermal comfort 610 $aimaging 610 $amapping 610 $aenvironmental temperature 610 $afrailty 610 $aCOVID-19 610 $aaging 610 $aphysical activity 610 $amental health 610 $asocial relationships 610 $asocial frailty 610 $aolder adults 610 $alife satisfaction 610 $aaccidental falls 610 $aresearch hotspot 610 $aCiteSpace 610 $aknowledge domain visualization 610 $ageriatric syndromes 610 $ahealthy aging 610 $aexercise 610 $ahistones 610 $aDNA methylation 610 $anon-coding RNA 610 $ahip fractures 610 $ageriatric assessment 610 $aorthogeriatric care 610 $afunctional recovery 610 $amortality 610 $ahip fracture surgery 610 $amultidisciplinary care 610 $apredictive model 610 $ahip fracture 610 $agait recovery 610 $afeasibility 610 $afrailty index 610 $apsychometrics 610 $areliability 610 $avalidity 610 $aageing 610 $aqualitative research 610 $aprimary health care 610 $aloneliness 610 $asocial capital 610 $acolorectal cancer 610 $acomprehensive geriatric assessment 610 $ageriatric liaison 610 $amulticomponent programs 610 $afunctional capacity 610 $aoccupational therapy 610 $aoccupational function 610 $asocial network 610 $asocial isolation 610 $aposterior occlusal support 610 $amaximum occlusal force 610 $amasticatory function 610 $astanding motion 610 $aremovable prostheses 610 $aEichner index 610 $afracture fixation 610 $ageriatric 610 $aintertrochanteric fractures 610 $aprognostic factors 610 $aThai 610 $aaged people 610 $aSTOPP/START 610 $aBeers criteria 610 $amedical prescriptions for chronic pathologies 610 $ainappropriate prescribing 610 $anursing 610 $adelirium 610 $amachine learning technique 610 $arandom forest 615 7$aPublic health & preventive medicine 700 $aTarazona Santabalbina$b Francisco Jose?$4edt$01339014 702 $aSantaeuge?nia Gonza?lez$b Sebastia?
