Abstract
Increased longevity throughout the world is influencing medical care dramatically as more older individuals develop or survive with various medical conditions.
Although some elderly present typically with single-system disease, they often have presentations and responses to treatments that are different from their younger counterparts.
This variation in behavior of illnesses, which is due to the combined effect of aging and comorbid disease, must be understood if the elderly are to receive successful care.
