Abstract

Older adults comprise the majority of medical patients and have many more iatrogenic complications compared with younger adults. Complex physiologic and biologic aging-related changes, as well as chronic disease states, contribute to this vulnerability. Common organ- and tissue-specific age-related changes contribute to cardiovascular disease, urinary tract conditions, and musculoskeletal changes. Many of these changes contribute to frailty and to related late-life vulnerability to adverse health outcomes and mortality.
