The goal of preventive geriatrics is to nurture a state of health that allows maximal active life expectancy while maintaining high levels of function. The physician's role in promoting such a state of health is disease prevention and the control of chronic diseases of aging. Barriers such as insufficient time and/or staff resources and insufficient third-party reimbursement restrict the delivery of multiple risk factor intervention and healthy aging counseling in the office setting. A systematic approach to preventive geriatrics proposed by the U.S. Prevention Services Task Force is discussed.
预防性老年医学的目标是培育一种健康状态，使积极预期寿命最大化，同时维持较高的功能水平。医生在促进这种健康状态方面的作用是预防疾病和控制衰老相关的慢性疾病。诸如时间和/或人力资源不足以及第三方报销不足等障碍限制了在门诊环境中进行多重危险因素干预和健康老龄化咨询。本文讨论了美国预防服务工作组提出的一种系统性预防性老年医学方法。
