Geriatricians[1] are specialists in senior health, trained in caring for an aging body. Their knowledge can help keep you happy and healthy throughout your golden years.

Absorption of nutrients decreases as you get old.
A geriatrician will prescribe a diet with sufficient nutrients/ supplements as necessary.

A geriatrician will suggest ways to relieve it, like geriatric rehabilitation[2].

3. Increase in medical problems
Consulting a geriatrician regularly can prevent senior medical problems by making simple changes in lifestyle.

4. Medication
A geriatrician can prescribe medication and monitor it and change it as required.

5. Counselling
A geriatrician who will listen patiently to problems and help deal with them will go a long way in reducing depression in seniors.

6. Arranging support
A geriatrician can help a senior who has no support system by arranging to have caregivers or nurses as the situation demands.
