Gerontology and Geriatrics

The session on Gerontology and Geriatrics will focus on the comprehensive understanding of ageing and elderly care from both scientific and clinical perspectives. Gerontology, the study of the ageing process, will be explored through recent research on the biological, psychological, and social changes that occur with age. Geriatrics, the branch of medicine dedicated to the healthcare of older adults, will be discussed with an emphasis on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of age-related diseases. The session will highlight interdisciplinary approaches to improving the quality of life for the elderly, integrating advances in research, clinical practice, and public health strategies. Special attention will be given to challenges in geriatric care, including multimorbidity, polypharmacy, cognitive decline, and the need for personalized and compassionate care.
