Table 1 shows the components of the CGA and its main tools. Further details are provided in Chapter 1. Although the CGA effectively predicts the future course of older adults, the primary aim is not to evaluate the current status or predict prognosis. The main objective of the CGA is to provide personalized medical care by developing holistic management plans and targeted interventions based on comprehensive assessments. This guideline emphasizes combining the CGA with subsequent interventions.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This guideline evaluates the effectiveness of the CGA based on evidence from the literature. The use and benefits of the CGA are described using case studies in this section.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Case 1 was a patient with a history of diabetes and multiple comorbidities (Table 2). Most of his personal care was performed by his wife; thus, no major problems were apparent in his life. However, his wife reported that he had been tripping and occasionally falling and was becoming increasingly forgetful. The CGA results revealed that he walked with a cane but maintained most of his basic ADLs, including walking on level ground. However, the patient's instrumental ADLs were impaired, especially medication management. Cognitive function was also impaired. In particular, time orientation and short-term memory scores indicated mild dementia. An investigation of his living conditions revealed impaired lower limb muscle strength and poor vision, which made obstacles difficult to see, leading to falls. His medication adherence was poor, consistently taking only about half of his prescribed medications. This poor medication adherence may have contributed to his poor glycemic control. The patient's wife was asked to assist him with his medications, as cognitive decline likely caused his poor medication adherence. To address the risk of falls, the patient's medications were reviewed. Antiplatelet therapy was discontinued, the doses of antihypertensives were reduced, and the overall medication regimen was simplified. A thorough examination for dementia was scheduled. We suggested that the patient apply for long-term care insurance to introduce preventive care services and home renovation to prevent falls. The results of the CGA can be referenced to prepare the primary care physician's statement document, called “Shujii-ikensho,” which is required for certifying long-term care needs. In this case, the CGA provided information that contributed to understanding the patient's condition and living conditions.
