adult-gerontology

Adult-gerontology is a healthcare specialty focused on the medical and psychological care of adults across the lifespan, from young adulthood through older age. It emphasizes understanding the unique health challenges and needs that develop as people age, including chronic diseases, aging-related physical and mental changes, and preventive care. Professionals in this field are trained to treat complex, multi-morbid conditions often seen in older adults while promoting healthy aging. The goal is to help adults maintain their independence, improve quality of life, and effectively manage age-related health concerns.
