CONCLUSIONS: The literature on vision screening in this population was sparse and there was heterogeneity in current practices, highlighting the need for standardised screening protocols. More research is needed to evaluate vision screening services in this population and to explore implementation barriers.

CONCLUSIONS: This study presents a decade-spanning model that reflects the multifactorial nature of fall risk and the diversity of aging trajectories in the U.S., providing a foundation for more inclusive and personalized fall prevention strategies.

CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish adaptation of GLFS-25 is a valid, reliable, and culturally appropriate tool for assessing locomotive dysfunction in Turkish older adults. Its strong psychometric properties and high correlation with functional mobility indicators suggest that it can be effectively integrated into geriatric healthcare and rehabilitation programs. Given the rapid aging of Turkey's population, this tool can support early detection, prevention strategies, and policy development to mitigate...

CONCLUSION: Lower educational attainment, musculoskeletal conditions, and abdominal obesity may contribute to a higher likelihood of disability in women. Additionally, abdominal obesity, arthritis and cardiometabolic diseases showed stronger associations with functional disability in women than in men.

CONCLUSIONS: Perceived fatigability is prevalent among older adults and exhibits strong associations with age, educational level, alcohol drinking, PA, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality in regional China. These findings suggested that fatigability is a public health problem among older adults in China and particular attention should be paid to burden caused by fatigability and its associated factors.

CONCLUSION: Overall, the data suggest that the health status of Swedish centenarians has worsened over time. Although some of these changes may reflect improved diagnostics and increased drug prescriptions, it is likely that morbidity has also risen as a result of greater survival from disease at older ages.

CONCLUSION: The free health check-up program for the elderly was associated with a reduction in their medical use and an increase in their health, positioning it as a potential model for other countries grappling with an ageing populace. Despite free nature of the program, the increment in the health check-up utilization remains low among the elderly. Enhanced efforts to promote effective use and follow-up consultation are necessary.
