Geriatric Health Disparities
Geriatric Health Disparities refers to the differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare services experienced by older adults based on factors such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic location. These disparities can result in unequal treatment, higher rates of chronic conditions, lower quality of care, and limited access to preventive services for older individuals. Addressing geriatric health disparities is important for promoting health equity and improving the overall well-being of older populations.
