Medical Gerontology revolves around issues related to “Functionality and Ageing’, which also known as FunAge. Most of the researches are focusing on exploring and identifying the multifactorial domains associated with improved physical, mental and social functions of older persons and its relationship with better quality of life and well-being of the older persons. Three research areas under this niche have been developed to guide the research scopes which are:
- Services and facilities (accessibility to the healthcare system for older persons, etc)
- Equipment and treatments (pharmacology and non-pharmacology aspects, genetics, nutrition and technology aspects in promoting active ageing)
- Health promotion (physical activity, health literacy, promotion of mental health among elderly, dementia etc)
