WHO’s riktlijer för hälsosamt åldrande genom personcentrerad vård, 2019

? For the health-care system, the key to supporting healthy ageing for all is optimizing people?s intrinsic capacity and functional ability, even as ageing gradually reduces capacity.
? Care-dependency can be prevented if priority conditions associated with declines in intrinsic capacity are promptly diagnosed and managed.
? Health and social care workers in the community at the primary care level can identify older people with losses in capacities and provide appropriate care to reverse or slow these losses by following this guidance. This approach is a simple and low-cost one.
? Conditions associated with declines in intrinsic capacity are interrelated and so require an integrated and person-centred approach to assessment and management.
