4 IMPORTANT TAKE-HOME POINTS
• Common diseases can have uncommon presentations in the elderly
• Temptation to overtreat should be avoided• Always start low and go slow when
prescribing medications• A new symptom can be a medication side
effect

HISTORY
• Develop a symptom• Perceive a symptom• Communicate

REASONS FOR UNDERREPORTING(THE ICEBERG PHENOMENON)
• Fear of hospitalization• Fear of unpleasant investigations• Fear of treatment• Risk of involuntary removal to residential
care• Imagining that symptoms are not amenable to
treatment• Low health expectations• Lack of Information

GOALS OF CARE
• Focus must remain on keeping the older person functional
• If that goal becomes medically infeasible, the patient’s dignity and comfort must then become the primary focus

NORMAL AGING VERSUSPATHOLOGICAL AGING
• Normal aging = aging-related changes• Pathological aging = aging-associated
changes• Normal aging:
Involves a great number of biologic processes Is characterized by progressive, predictable, and
inevitable changes that are independent of disease

PHYSIOLOGIC CHANGESWITH AGING
![Page 8: GERIATRICS: AN OVERVIEW Keerti Sharma, MD Assistant Professor of Medicine THE AMERICAN GERIATRICS SOCIETY Geriatrics Health Professionals. Leading change.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cff5503460f949cfc00/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
GENERAL PRINCIPLESOF NORMAL AGING
• Organs in the same person age at different rates
• Determinants of these rates include genetic makeup, personal choices, environmental exposures, and other factors
• Aging changes are modifiable but inevitable
Slide 8

BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION
• Higher risk for orthostatic or postural hypotension
• Narrow range within which CNS perfusion maintained
• Changes in antihypertensive drugs should be based on patient’s standing blood pressure
Slide 9

VOLUME REGULATION
• Predisposition to both volume depletion and volume overload
• Decreased thirst• Decreased ADH response to hypovolemia
and renal response to ADH• Greater difficulty in excreting fluid overload
Results in predisposition to hyponatremia and CHF

NERVOUS SYSTEM (1 of 2)
• The weight of the brain decreases• The area of the cerebral ventricles may
increase 34• Most prominent loss occurs in the largest
neurons• Cognitive loss is not a part of normal aging

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
• Blood vessels: increased intimal thickness, increased wall thickness, increased smooth muscle
Leads to increased systolic and pulse pressure
• Heart muscle: increased afterloadLeads to LVH, decreased cardiac output
• Heart valves: left sides become sclerotic
• Response to sympathetic stimulation: reducedLeads to reduction in cardiac output during stress
(eg, surgery) and increased risk of CHF

• Lactase levels decline and intolerance of dairy products is common
• Colon: slowed transit and increase in opioid receptor May predispose the older person to drug-induced
constipation
• Liver: after age 30 there is 1% per year decline in liver mass and blood flow every year
