Geriatrics

The Geriatrics Medical Team of Beijing United Family Hospital of Integrative Medicine comprises outstanding geriatric experts from China and abroad with rich clinical experience in geriatrics.

  1. Comprehensive assessment for seniors: Given the characteristics of the issues that often affect the elderly (such as falls, muscular dystrophy, malnutrition, insomnia, constipation, depression, and dementia), a comprehensive assessment is conducted, including nutrition, malnutrition risks, fall risks, and cognitive function. Early detection of functional and cognitive disorders is conducive to early intervention.
  2. Diagnose and treat common diseases in the elderly: cardiovascular diseases, respiratory system diseases, chronic kidney diseases, metabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, blood system diseases, and tumors. We offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, systematic advice and support, and follow-up consultations.
  3. Hospitalization of elderly patients: Due to the greater likelihood of chronic diseases and multi-disease coexistence in seniors, our experienced geriatric specialists take the lead in conducting complete diagnosis and treatment during hospitalization to ensure the patient receives comprehensive treatment. Meanwhile, a multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment mode is adopted to obtain better treatment effects.
