Course Overview

Health screening for older adults differs significantly from screening for younger populations. Comprehensive Senior Health Screening includes assessments of memory, balance, muscle strength, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and body composition analysis.

This training introduces a package of evidence-based preventive screenings designed for the early detection of key factors that contribute to frailty among senior citizens. The program has been developed and validated through evidence-based services for Malaysian older adults.

Early detection enables healthcare and care professionals to take timely action, improve care quality, reduce long-term healthcare costs, and support older adults to age well within their communities.
