Article Abstract
Summary：This review explores the critical role of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) in managing sarcopenia in the older adults.It highlights the usage of CGA across physical, functional, cognitive, psychological, and social assessments, providing a unique approach to older adults care. Background：The paper shows the growing prevalence of sarcopenia with age and its significant health implications, including increased mortality rates and diminished quality of life. Through CGA, health professionals can tailor interventions, optimizing outcomes for geriatric patients. Key Messages：The review emphasizes the importance of early identification and intervention in sarcopenia management, advocating for multifaceted advancements that integrate nutritional support, resistance exercise and possible pharmacologic treatments to mitigate the impact of sarcopenia. Moreover, the review addresses the potential of CGA in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs despite the challenges in its broader implementation.

This study assessed the impact of the information-knowledge-attitude-practice (IKAP) care model on health promotion among elderly patients diagnosed with periodontitis. Using a retrospective case-control design, 131 patients aged 60 years or older, treated between June 2022 and June 2024, were categorized into 2 groups: the IKAP care group (n = 68) and the conventional care group (n = 63). Clinical outcomes, behavioral modifications, and quality of life were evaluated through periodontal examinations, health knowledge questionnaires, and standardized assessments.

Nonhealing wounds are increasingly prevalent, present in 1% to 2% of the global population, with higher incidence in geriatric patients. These chronic wounds pose challenges to older adult patients owing to physiologic changes that hinder healing, common medical comorbidities that promote inflammation and damage microcirculation, poor nutritional status and mobility, and psychosocial barriers to receiving care. In this literature review, the epidemiology, pathophysiology, systems costs, and management of chronic venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, and diabetic foot wounds in older adult patients are investigated.

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare, yet increasingly prevalent, condition, especially among older adults. Diagnosing CMI in older adults presents significant challenges. Along with the burden of comorbidities and the physiological changes associated with aging, timely intervention is often delayed, leading to poorer outcomes.
