Question
Answer
show 56% report at least one chronic condition.  
🗑
show African American and Hispanic adults aged 60 to 69 years.  
🗑
New paradigms also highlight the importance of shifting assessment to geriatric syndromes that fall outside traditional disease models but are strongly linked to   show
🗑
Geriatric syndromes are present in almost 50% of older adults and include   show
🗑
In aging, decreased cutaneous vasoconstriction and sweat production can impair responses to   show
🗑
show shock.  
🗑
show rise with aging.  
🗑

🗑
In older adults, resting heart rate remains   show
🗑

🗑
Rhythm changes=   show
🗑
There may be purple patches or macules, termed   show
🗑
