By way of introduction, the updated Criteria address three primary areas:

1. Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Persons
2. Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Persons Due To Drug - Disease or  Syndrome Interaction
3. Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Persons - Drugs to Be Used With Caution
