PREVENTIVE CARE STRATEGIES FOR AGING ADULTS

Older adults need to obtain vaccinations for various conditions as part of their self- care strategies. Aging adults can obtain better health outcomes through receiving:

- Influenza vaccine. - Pneumococcal vaccine (Ho et al.,

2019).

Screening is also one of the major preventive strategies that older adults need to embrace for better health. In retrospect, aging adults should obtain colorectal cancer screening, breast cancer screening, cholesterol screening, osteoporosis screening, and consistent high blood pressure tests. Screening helps in identifying any underlying complications, and facilitates early detection and treatment which are crucial for good healthcare outcomes.
