Geriatricsis a branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease in older people and the problems specific to ageing [1]. Geriatric age group refers to the older people ≥ 65years of age[2]. Ageing is a process which is inevitable with each and everyone in this world.While ageing of the population is essentially a simple phenomenon, its consequences are multiple and not always well recognized [3]. Besides the ageing process does not remain merely confined to biological field alone; it invades psychological, social, occupational and economic fields as well, among which anxiety is most common in old people [4].Epidemiological studies indicate that the prevalence of anxiety disorders in community- residing older people is 1.2-15 %[5] .With ageing, many different physiological and psychological changes occur slowly over the years, which lead to development of multiple disorders in the body [6]. Numerous reports suggest that chronic anxiety is deleterious to the physiological and cognitive health of older adults, potentially leading to cancer, cardiovascular diseases and dementia[7
