*About the Talk:*

The elderly population in India constitutes almost 10% of the total population, split evenly between the two genders. A slow metabolism, declining immune function, and loss of physical health are a few signs of aging. Therefore, the medical fraternity, and broader society, carry the responsibility of ensuring that the elderly receive adequate care and support. However, medical oversight and an increased reliance on drugs targeting symptomatic treatment have increased polypharmacy among the elderly population. In this Medflix session, Dr. Tushar Shah takes a deep dive into the various conditions afflicting the elderly and how to treat each one responsibly.
