What is an older person’s health assessment?

If you are over the age of 70 years old, you should have regular health checks. There are some health screening tests you can do to help manage and prevent health conditions that are more common at this age. These include:

  • an osteoporosis risk assessment
  • a blood pressure check and check for an irregular pulse
  • a falls risk assessment
  • a flu vaccination
  • a dental check-up
  • a hearing test
  • an eye test
