Geriatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the health care of the elderly. It aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults. There’s no set age at which patients may be under the care of a geriatrician or geriatric physician, who is an internist or family physician certified in geriatrics.
