Older women outnumber older men in the United States and may experience a range of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional challenges. The "Geriatric 5 Ms"-Multicomplexity, Mind, Mobility, Medications, and What Matters Most-provide a useful framework for understanding and addressing the health and wellness needs of older women in the clinic. The National Institute on Aging, a component of the US National Institutes of Health, supports a vibrant program of aging research with many immediately implementable findings and useful resources for the busy clinician.
