Abstract:

Population ageing is occurring rapidly in India with the proportion of older adults (aged 60 years and above) estimated to reach 20% by the year 2050 from the existing 10%. The prevalence of mental health problems in older adults is also expected to increase significantly due to population ageing. Nearly 20% of older adults have at least one mental health condition including the subsyndromal conditions. The data from National Mental Health Survey (NMHS), Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI) and the recent LASI-Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia have estimated the national prevalence of Psy

Abstract:

Background: In India, aging population is increasing every year. So, healthcare industry needs to set up a geriatric unit soon. Development of geriatrics and old-age care systems in India will make elderly people independent and improve their lifestyle, life expectancy, and quality of life while decreasing the cost of care. This study looks at the views of patients who are 60 years or older, as well as need for a full-fledged geriatric unit in a tertiary care hospital.

Abstract:

India is undergoing a significant demographic transition, with declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy contributing to a rapidly growing elderly population. By 2050, the number of older adults is projected to quadruple, placing immense pressure on the country’s healthcare infrastructure. A recent World Health Organization report highlights that the rising elderly population in India and China will further strain national health systems. Despite this, geriatrics remains an underdeveloped field in Indian medical education, resulting in a lack of specialized healthcare services for o

Abstract:

This paper presents an ontological review of the global research on access to geriatric disability care and a roadmap for future research to address the problem in India. First, the dominant research focus is on resources (human, financial, and spatial) that affect access to disability care; there is little focus on informational and technological resources. Second, functional disabilities are the dominant focus of the research, followed by cognitive, mental, and locomotor disabilities; there is little focus on speech, hearing, and visual disabilities. Third, barriers, inhibitors, and catalyst

<strong>Background: </strong>People over age 60 are one of the risk groups for anemia. Anemia often leads to weakness and fatigue. Anemia in the geriatric population can be caused by various factors, including nutritional deficiencies (such as iron, vitamin B12, or folate deficiency), chronic diseases (like chronic kidney disease or cancer), medications, and bone marrow disorders. When geriatric population has these symptoms, it contributes to in overall health decline. People having anemia might be less active physically. <strong>Material and Methods:</strong> A prospective stu

Abstract:

Background: Despite the huge clinical impact of sarcopenia, there is very little to no data from Indian subcontinent regarding sarcopenia in older adults. We conducted this study to assess the frequency of sarcopenia in Indian older outpatients and its characteristics and associations with various geriatric syndromes and quality of life in Indian older adults. Methods: 100 participants above the age of 65 years were recruited from the outpatient department of Geriatric Medicine of a tertiary care hospital in India. Muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance was measured by DXA scan

Geriatric population is challenged by many psychiatric morbidities and co-morbidities like depression being the most predominant. Deprivation in health status especially in the psychological aspects and psychological health problems are all associated with aging. Across India, old age home based studies have estimated the prevalence of depression amongst the elderly in urban areas, but there are only a few such studies done in rural old age home settings. The need of the present research was to study and determine the prevalence of Geriatric depression amongst the elderly population, 60 years
