摘要
老年人具有基础疾病多、器官功能储备差、起病隐匿、多重用药等特点,老年医学除具有其综合性、全面性和个体化的特点外,还需注重维持老年人的能力和生活质量,对老年人提供全方位的健康服务。在中国,目前老年医学的发展还需要现代观念、政策及资金上的支持,建立独立的老年医学学科有其必要性及合理性。
In the 21st century,clinical medicine focuses much on the elderly diseases and geriatrics because of the globalization of ＂aging of the population＂. The elderly patients have their own characteristics, such as multidiseases,poor organic function, latent onset of the diseases and poly-pharmacy. Geriatrics not only is integrated, comprehensive and individualized, but also pays more attention in maintaining the ability and the quality of life of the elderly. Geriatrics in China still needs modern concepts, policy and financial support. Undoubtedly, it is necessary to promote Geriatrics into an independent speciality in China,which will surely bring benefit to the whole society.
