The word ‘geriatrics’ was coined by Ignatz Leo Nascher (1863-1944), a Viennese man who worked as a physician in New York and who claimed that aging is not a disease but a period of life with its own physiology, requiring the need to treat geriatric medicine as a separate entity, as is done for pediatrics (Achenbaum, 1995; Morley, 2004). In the 1930s, Marjory Warren developed the principles of modern geriatric medicine in the United Kingdom, by enhancing the environment, introducing active rehabilitation programs and emphasizing the importance of the older person's motivation (Morley, 2004).
