Abstract

We commend Wei-Ju Lee and colleagues for the TIGER study, published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity, which is a scientifically sound evaluation of a complex integrated care intervention to improve healthy ageing in older inhabitants of Taiwan with multiple chronic conditions.1 The study embraces the value-based health care paradigm, which makes it relevant for the global aim of sustainable and cost-effective health care. 398 community-dwelling older adults (mean age 73·2 years [SD 6·3]; 60% female) with three or more chronic diseases participated in the study and were randomly assigned to the 12-month multidomain intervention (n=199) or to usual care (n=199).
