Geriatric screening detects many problems previously unknown to the primary health care physician. In spite of this, a valid judgement can only be made if the effectiveness of the induced intervention is proven. Prospective studies evaluating these screening-induced interventions show diverse results. Nevertheless, international task forces conclude from the evidence of existing studies that there are areas which are effective, efficacious, and enhance the quality of life. It remains a continuing task for research to develop geriatric assessment instruments as well as to set up objective guidelines of intervention in these areas.
老年筛查能发现许多初级保健医生以前未知的问题。尽管如此，只有在诱导干预的效果得到证实时，才能做出有效的判断。评估这些筛查诱导干预措施的前瞻性研究显示出不同的结果。然而，国际特别工作组根据现有研究的证据得出结论，存在一些有效、有成效且能提高生活质量的领域。开发老年评估工具以及制定这些领域的客观干预指南仍然是研究的一项持续任务。
