What are the Challenges in Geriatric Epidemiology?

Geriatric epidemiology faces several challenges:

- Data Limitations: Difficulty in obtaining accurate and comprehensive data on older populations.
- Heterogeneity: The diversity in health status and needs among older adults complicates the development of standardized interventions.
- Ethical Concerns: Ensuring that research and interventions respect the autonomy and dignity of older adults.
- Resource Allocation: Balancing the allocation of limited healthcare resources to meet the demands of an aging population.
