The fifth edition of this classic title builds on the outstanding success of previous editions and provides a comprehensive account of the scientific basis and best clinical practice of the rapidly expanding area of geriatric medicine. The table of contents has been completely revised for easier access to information, and every chapter has been updated to take into account the most recent scientific and clinical advances in the field. Professor Fillit's increased editorial contribution to this new edition makes it the only book with a truly transatlantic coverage of its subject.
