Geriatrics, Lifestyle Medicine and Healthy Aging, 1st Edition, provides a practical framework for incorporating lifestyle interventions into older adult care. Edited by Susan M. Friedman, the text offers targeted guidance for geriatric medicine clinicians, lifestyle medicine clinicians, and individuals interested in healthy aging across the lifecycle. It establishes how evidence-based habit modifications directly address common physiological changes in later life.

The volume examines critical lifestyle pillars, including physical activity recommendations, geriatric nutrition, sleep hygiene, stress management, social connection, and environmental toxin exposure. It further explores complex clinical challenges such as dementia, depression, caregiver health, obesity, constipation, and the impacts of climate change on older adults.

In addition, the text analyzes structured interventions for sarcopenia, urinary incontinence, osteoporosis, fall risk reduction, palliative care, and polypharmacy deprescribing. Published as part of the Lifestyle Medicine Series under the series editorship of Dr. James M. Rippe, this reference equips clinical practitioners with actionable methods for managing age-related health conditions.
