The aim of geriatric medicine is to optimize residual functions while decreasing overall functional capacities with increasing multimorbidity. Civilization development leads to increased life expectancy and life expectancy. Absolutely and relatively more and more people are old and very old and longevity. This trend will continue in the coming decades.
