The Geriatric Attitude Scale is a tool used to measure attitudes toward aging and older adults, often focusing on how health professionals, caregivers, or the general public perceive geriatric care and the elderly. Understanding these attitudes is essential, as they can influence the quality of care provided to older adults and the interactions between healthcare providers and patients.

Perceptions of aging refer to the beliefs, attitudes, and stereotypes that individuals or societies hold about older adults and the aging process. These perceptions can significantly influence how older individuals are treated, the types of care they receive, and their overall quality of life. Understanding perceptions of aging is essential for promoting healthy aging, reducing ageism, and improving interactions between older adults and healthcare providers, families, and society at large.
