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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
WHO ICOPE program (screening, assessment, personalized care plan, and follow-up)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a proven way to help older people stay independent longer by preventing declines in mobility, memory, and other key functions.
What could go wrong
This is a large but early-stage trial testing a complex program, so results may not show clear benefits or may be hard to apply broadly. The program requires significant effort from participants and healthcare providers.
