Abstract
Geriatrics is the youngest of the big clinical disciplines. Less than one century after the creation of the word “geriatrics” by the American-Austrian born Ignatus Nascher (1) and around 50 years after the British nomination as a distinct clinical discipline (2), “geriatrics thus faces a crossroads” (3). Nothing seems more natural and challenging.Keywords
