Overview

This review article provides basic information on age categories of seniors and their characteristics, specificities of dis­ease symp­tomatology, dia­gnostics and treatment. Attention is paid to geriatric syndromes –  cognitive decline, instability and falls, immobilization, incontinency and skin integrity disorders as the main reasons of a loss of auto-sufficiency and necessity to leave their usual environment and move to an institution provid­ing long-term care. The final part contains a section characteris­ing the frailty syndrome.

Key words:
geriatric syndromes –  cognitive impairment –  instability –  immobilization –  incontinency –  frailty
