of apparently healthy people to detect unrecognized disease at
an earlier stage……
………and case-finding, i.e., evaluating subgroups of
people at increased risk of having a disease to make a diagnosis
earlier than would occur by waiting for them to present with
symptoms or signs.

Good day. Let me start of by presenting this case. He is a 58 year old successful businessman. Hypertensive, but, controlled by medications. He Plays golf 1-2x a month.
He is a Healthy eater, Non-smoker and Occasional drinker
However, he Feels sluggish and Not as physically active as he was 20-30 years ago. He Feels like “age is catching up on him”
He needs something more
In the next few minutes we will be discussing some concepts on Wellness in the Older Person. I am Dr. Marc Abat, and thank you for being with us.
WE will discuss the concept of Wellness in the Elderly, How to approach wellness evaluation for this age group, the indicators of health and wellness in the elderly and briefly touch on the multidisciplinary approach to good health and wellness for the elderly
We will start with the concept of wellness in the elderly
Aging is accumulation of changes responsible for the sequential alterations that accompany advancing age and the associated progressive increases in the chance of disease and death
Changes happen from the molecular level, in our DNA and genes, up to larger biochemical processes, up to our organs, leading to changes in how we function. All of these contribute to us getting more sick and dying.
Being well was earlier thought of as just having no disease and not being sick. But throughout the years, this definition has considerably expanded.
We now acknowledge wellness in the elderly as a purposeful process of individual growth, integration of experience, and meaningful connection with others, reflecting personally valued goals and strengths, and resulting in being well and living values
Wellness may thus be different concept and process from person to person, and at each stage of their lives
There is considerable similarity and overlap with the WHO concept of healthy aging, defined as The process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age
The intrincic capacity of the older person emanates from his genetics, health characteristics (like age-related traits, health related behaviors, risks factors, diseases and geriatric syndromes), and personal characteristics. The intrinsic capacity interacts with his environment in both directions, leading to his overall functional ability that enables wellbeing.
So how do we approach wellness evaluation in the elderly?
We should always recognize that there is a reason for them to undergo these wellness evaluations. It may start out just like any preventive or general exam, but there may more deep-seated concerns like psychosocial concerns, or concerns for particular diseases
Selection of diagnostics may boil down to whether you are doing the test for screening or case finding
Screening involves testing large numbers of apparently healthy people to detect unrecognized disease at an earlier stage……versus
Case-finding involves evaluating subgroups of people at increased risk of having a disease to make a diagnosis earlier than would occur by waiting for them to present with symptoms or signs.
The core of doing a wellness evaluation in the elderly still involves doing the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment. This is a multidimensional, interdisciplinary diagnostic process to develop a coordinated and integrated plan for treatment and long-term follow-up. It employs interdisciplinary teams and the use of any number of standardized instruments. There is emphasizes on quality of life and functional status, prognosis, and outcome. It is both a diagnostic and therapeutic process
We will base our choices of diagnostics mainly and primarily on evidence-based recommendations. It can be from health authorities or societies involved in these policies. For this talk, we will use the Guidance on Preventive Services of the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
These are the explanations for the grading. Grades A and B should be offered or provided. Grade C services should only be offered for select patients depending on individual circumstances. Grade D services are discouraged. Grade I services have insufficient current evidences, and as such patients should be aware of the uncertainty in harms and benefit
Grade A recommendations are for cervical cancer screening for women aged 30 to 65 years, Screening for colorectal cancer starting at age 50 years and continuing until age 75 years, Screening syphilis infection in persons who are at increased risk for infection, screening for high blood pressure in adults aged 18 years or older
Grade B recommendations are for Unhealthy Drug Use Screening, Hepatitis C Infection Screening, 1-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with ultrasonography in men aged 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked, unhealthy alcohol use in primary care settings, women with a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal cancer or with an ancestry associated with (BRCA1/2) gene mutations with an appropriate familial risk assessment tool
screening for osteoporosis with bone measurement testing to prevent osteoporotic fractures in women 65 years and older, or in those younger and increased risk of osteoporosis, as determined by a formal clinical risk assessment tool
screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in populations at increased risk
screening for depression
biennial screening mammography for women aged 50 to 74 years
screening for abnormal blood glucose in adults aged 40 to 70 years who are overweight or obese
screening for chlamydia and gonorrhea in older women who are at increased risk for infection
screening for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in persons at high risk for infection
annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in adults aged 55 to 80 years who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years
selectively offer screening for AAA with ultrasonography in men aged 65 to 75 years who have never smoked
men aged 55 to 69 years, the decision to undergo periodic prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening for prostate cancer should be an individual one
screen for colorectal cancer in adults aged 76 to 85 years should be an individual one, taking into account the patient's overall health and prior screening history
Notable Grade D recommendations against screening for asymptomatic bateriuria, routine BRCA ½ testings, pancreatic CA testing, cervical Ca screening in those post-hysterectomy and with no high-grade cervical lesions and in those older than 65 but low risk and with adequate previous screening
ECG in asymptomatic adults at low risk for CVD
Ovarian and thyroid Ca
Asymptomatic adults for COPD
Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis
Grade I is given to screening for cognitive impairment, abuse and neglect, AF with ECG, PAD and CVD risk with ankle brachial index in asymptomatic adults, adding parameters like ABI or hsCRP to traditional CVD risk assessment, osteoporosis in men, resting or exercise ECG in asymptomatic but intermediate to high risk adults, celiac disease, screening pelvic examinations in asymptomatic women
others
Shared decision making should be done in cases wherein there are no clear recommendations for a particular procedure, especially if the patient is requesting it. The pros and cons, including possible adverse events should be balanced with perceived benefits
Indicators of healthy ageing would be a perceived good quality of life, survival to a specific age in good health, autonomy in activities of daily living, none or few chronic diseases, little or no disability, none or mild cognitive impairment, high social participation, good health behavior
All of these happen in the context of biology/genetics, gender, social services, physical environment, culture and economic determinants, that help promote healthy ageing
Let’s briefly discuss a multidisciplinary approach to wellness in the elderly
Given the data set we obtained for the older person, we formulate a management plan with the health care team, including the primary attending doctor, other specialists, nursing team, the rehabilitation team, possibly the fitness coach, social worker and other professionals needed to help address the concerns identified in the entire evaluation processes. This may be a continuing or evolving process, that also needs prioritization.
If the person is really “well” or there is nothing clearly amiss at the start, the cycle of reassurance, reevaluation of goals, modification of all plans, and revision of management should be done. There may be other important issues that where not initially identified or new ones that develop or revealed over time
