摘要
The increase in the numbers of elderly in the United States, and their projected continued increase to 21% or more of the population by 2030, has provided impetus for the growth of geriatrics. Recognition of change that is age-related rather than disease-related, and the ways in which the elderly differ from their young counterparts is vital in the care of the elderly. A functional approach and appropriate geriatric assessment have been shown to be beneficial to the individual. © 1990, National Kidney Foundation, Inc.. All rights reserved.
