Guidelines
The EUGMS has taken the initiative to create clinical guidelines for frequent diseases and conditions in old age. We are aiming at developing new guidelines and updating existing ones.
Presently we have the following guidelines:
- Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in older people (2004)
- Syncope in older people (2006)
- Vaccination of Adults aged 60 years and older (2009)
- Life Course Vaccination. Impact of Life Course Vaccination on an Ageing Population (2009)
