Intensifying research for preventive medicine is crucial to manage the growing elderly population and reduce healthcare costs. Proactive health strategies offer a cost-effective solution for better quality of life and reduced illness in seniors.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • The global population is aging, increasing demand for sophisticated healthcare services.
  • An aging population poses significant challenges to healthcare and social systems.
  • Current healthcare models face escalating costs associated with geriatric medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the critical need for research in preventive medicine for the elderly.
  • To highlight the cost-effectiveness of preventive strategies over therapeutic interventions.
  • To advocate for proactive health measures to improve elderly quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review and synthesis of existing research on preventive medicine and geriatrics.
  • It analyzes the economic impact of healthcare for the elderly.
