RuDoLpH, MD, SM As a geriatrician, I have the privilege of caring for older individuals, whose health has been impacted by a combination of genetic influences, environmental factors, and social determinants. Dementia/homelessness Dementia is an example of a medical condition where social need is heightened, as examined in "Incidence of Homelessness among Veterans Newly Diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias", by Jutkowitz, et al. Food insecurity Food insecurity, or the inability to obtain adequate food, is particularly dangerous for older adults who may be taking medications or have health conditions that require specific nutritional intake.
