First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests the WHO's ICOPE program, which includes regular check-ins on mobility, memory, nutrition, vision, hearing, and mood, plus personalized care plans. Researchers will follow 1,000 adults aged 65+ for up to 5 years to see if the program prevents age-related decline better than usual care. The goal is to help people stay independent as they age.
