Various problems associated with medical care for older adults are being highlighted in aging societies. As the number of chronic diseases increases with age, older adults are more likely to have multiple chronic diseases simultaneously (multimorbidity). Multimorbidity results in poor health‐related outcomes, leading to increased use and cost of healthcare. Above all, it leads to deterioration in older adults’ quality of life. However, it is unclear whether any medical interventions are effective for multimorbidity, which means medical practitioners currently offer medical care “in the dark.” It is therefore necessary for researchers and medical professionals involved in geriatric medicine to establish ways to manage multimorbidity among older adults. This means that the development of research in this field is essential., ファイル公開:2020/08/01}, pages = {699--704}, title = {Era of geriatric medical challenges: Multimorbidity among older patients}, volume = {19}, year = {2019} }
