| Abstract: |
What are the characteristics of ageing that make older people vulnerable? What factors are associated with life expectancy in an elderly person? The module includes tools for assessing the functional status of the elderly. The model of comprehensive assessment of the elderly in primary care is described. Based on what criteria are interventions recommended for the elderly? Finally, specific reference is made to falls for community-dwelling older adults, including potential risk factors, how to assess an older person's fall risk, and recommended fall prevention interventions.
