Abstract
Results.– Despite high number of diseases (mean Charlson index 1.7; mean number of drugs 6.5), most participants were active and had good psychological well-being (PWB>0.80). Of participants, 73% reported a hobby related to regular physical activity and 46% other social hobbies. However, numerous abnormalities were found in assessments and tests. Altogether 64% of participants’ were sent to further interventions: 35% were sent to further diagnostic tests, 15% to blood pressure follow-ups, 13% to further cognitive tests, 9% were admitted to specialists, 7% to physiotherapists, 5% to oral check-ups and 9% received physicians’ medical certificates for economical or social advantages. Conclusions.– Systematic health check-ups among 75and 80year-olds reveal that although older people feel well, they have potential for preventive interventions. Systematic, multidimensional preventive health check-ups among 75and 80-year-olds led to multiple interventions.
