This book consists of nine chapters, covering topics such as an introduction to geriatrics, geriatric cardiovascular diseases, geriatric respiratory diseases, geriatric digestive system diseases, geriatric endocrine and metabolic diseases, geriatric neurological diseases, geriatric urological diseases, geriatric hematological diseases, and geriatric multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
