1. PREVENTIVE GERIATRICS

2. It is the art and science of preventing
disease in the geriatric population and
promoting their health and efficiency

3. •The study of physical and
psychological changes that occur in
old age is called “gerontology”.
•Geriatrics is the branch of general
medicine concerned with clinical,
preventive, medical and social
aspects of illness in the elderly.
•The old age is defined as the age of
retirement. In our country it is fixed
at 60 years and above.

4. Geriatric population
•1980-5.3%
•2000-7.7%
•2025-13.3% ( 1.2 billion )
•71% -Developing World
•70 million population-2001
•177 million population -2025
•40% below poverty line
•73% illiterate

5. Present scenario
•Cataract &Visual impairment -88%
•Arthritis &locomotion disorder -40%
•CVD &HT –18%
•Neurological problems -18%
•Respiratory problems including Chronic
bronchitis-16%
•GIT problems-9%
•Psychiatric problems-9%
•Loss of Hearing –8%

6. Theory of aging
•Somatic mutation theory
•Autoimmune theory
•Hayflick’s theory of aging

7. Somatic mutation theory
•The somatic mutation theory of aging posits
thatthe accumulation of mutations in the
genetic material of somatic cells as a function
of time results in a decrease in cellular
function.

8. Autoimmune theory
•The immunological theory of agingasserts
that the process of human aging is a mild and
generalized form of a prolonged autoimmune
phenomenon. In other words, aging—which
involves a highly complex series of
processes—is suspected to be largely
controlled by the immune system

9. Hayflick’stheory of aging
•The Hayflick Limit is a concept that helps to
explain the mechanisms behind cellular aging.
The concept states thata normal human cell
can only replicate and divide forty to sixty
times before it cannot divide anymore, and
will break down by programmed cell death or
apoptosis.

10. Geriatrics
•Senility
•Decline in sexual prowess
•Diminution in endocrine activity
•Loss of elasticity of blood vessels
•Rise in B.P

11. RISK OF GERIATRICS
•PRONE FOR INFECTIONS
•PRONE FOR INJURIES
•NEED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE
•PRONE FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
•PRONE FOR DEGENERATIVE DISORDERS
•INCREASED RISK FOR DISEASE
•INCREASED RISK OF DISABILITY
•INCRASED RISK OF DEATH

12. AIM OF GERIATRIC HEALTH
•Maintenance of health in old age by high levels of
engagement and avoidance of disease
•Early detection and appropriate treatment of disease
•Maintenance of maximum independence consistent
with irreversible disease and disability
•Sympathetic care and support during terminal illness

13. GERIATRIC PEOPLE PROBLEMS
•HEALTH PROBLEMS
1.Joint problems
2.Impairment of special senses
3. Cardio vascular disease
4.Hypothermia
5.Cancer, Prostate enlargement, Diabetes&
Accidental falls
•Psychological problems
1. Emotional problems
2. Suicidal tendency
3.& Senile dementia, Alzheimer’disease
•Social problems
• Poverty, Loneliness, Dependency, Isolation, Elder
abuse, Generation Gap

14. GERIATRIC TEAM
•Geriatricians
•Epidemiologists
•Nutritionists
•Nurses
•Physiotherapist
•Social worker
•And Health worker

15. Indicators of health status of aged
•Age proportional mortality rate
•Age specific death rate persons over 55
years
•Age specific prevalence rates for cvd,
cancers and accidents.
•% elders taking three or more drugs/day
•Cumulative percentage of elders undergone
cataract surgery
•Proportion of elders admitted to the hospital
in the past one year

16. PREVENTION
•Primordial prevention
•Pre geriatric care
•Primary prevention
•Health education
•Exercise
•Secondary prevention
•Annual medical check -up
•Early detection ( Universal approach, Selective approach)
•Treatment
•Tertiary prevention
•Counseling and Rehabilitation
•Welfare activities
•Improving quality of life
•Cultural programme
•Old age club
•Meals-on wheel service
•Home help
•Old age home
