The major geriatric syndromes — cognitive impairment, postural instability, urinary incontinence, iatrogeny and immobility — are associated with the decline in the functional capacity of significant part of the elderly population. This review assembles and analyzes studies, which show the importance of lifestyle, feeding, physical activity and other non-pharmacological interventions in prevention and treatment of the “geriatric giants”, conditions of high prevalence and morbidity in that group.
