Description
As populations age globally, multimorbidity—where an individual lives with two or more chronic conditions—has become a defining feature of modern geriatric care.

This essential resource bridges the gap between theory and practice by exploring how overlapping conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and cognitive decline impact diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. Each case fosters critical thinking and provides valuable insights into clinical decision-making, interdisciplinary collaboration, and person-centered approaches.
