Abstract
Population aging is a global phenomenon that is increasing the proportion of older people, particularly those over 80 years old. This increase in longevity does not always translate into years of good quality of life. This document reviews the latest evidence on the main preventive activities for older adults, starting with major geriatric syndromes such as frailty, cognitive impairment, and social isolation. It evaluates direct interventions in nutrition, deprescription, and physical exercise. Additionally, for the first time, it includes an analysis of preventive activities related to suicide in older adults, coordinated with mental health promotion programs. Frailty, defined as the progressive deterioration of physiological systems, is a significant predictor of adverse health events and is considered potentially reversible, especially in its early stages. The diagnosis and management of frailty through comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and the implementation of specific interventions such as multicomponent exercise, adequate nutrition, and medication review are key to improving the functionality and quality of life of older adults.
期刊介绍:
Atención Primaria es una revista que publica trabajos de investigación relativos al ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Desde el punto de vista conceptual, Atención Primaria asume el nuevo modelo de atención primaria de salud, orientado no sólo a la curación de la enfermedad, sino también a su prevención y a la promoción de la salud, tanto en el plano individual como en el de la familia y la comunidad. En estos nuevos aspectos que definen el modelo de atención primaria de salud es en los que se centran los trabajos de investigación que publica Atención Primaria, la primera revista de originales española creada para recoger y difundir la producción científica realizada desde los centros de atención primaria de salud sobre cuestiones como protocolización de la asistencia, programas de prevención, seguimiento y control de pacientes crónicos, organización y gestión de la asistencia primaria, entre otros.
