Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, Chronic Disease Management, Older Adults
Brief summary
With the continuous development of China's economy and the improvement of medical standards, the life expectancy of the Chinese population has significantly increased. Against the backdrop of accelerating aging in China, the incidence of age-related chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic respiratory diseases, has risen remarkably. These diseases are characterized by multiple comorbidities, high disability rates, and high mortality rates, severely compromising the quality of life of older adults, exacerbating family burdens, and straining healthcare systems. This constitutes one of the major challenges faced by aging societies. Therefore, early detection and intervention of chronic diseases in older adults are critical measures to address population aging. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), a core specialty of geriatric medicine, serves as a fundamental framework for the clinical identification of geriatric syndromes and multidisciplinary management. It is emerging as a key pathway to promote healthy aging. Guided by this premise, this study aims to explore the application value of CGA in managing chronic diseases among older adults, with the goal of achieving full-cycle management for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic conditions in China's elderly population.
Interventions
The comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multi dimensional diagnostic process used to determine the medi cal, psychological, and functional capabilities of a frail elderly person to develop a coordinated and integrated plan for treat ment and long-term follow-up.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* 1\. Aged 60 years or older 2. Diagnosed with chronic diseases in the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, or endocrine systems, consistent with corresponding disease diagnostic criteria; 3. Availability of complete medical records; 4. Clear consciousness and ability to independently answer questions; 5. Signed informed consent form.
Exclusion criteria
* 1\. Presence of any condition/circumstance which in the opinion of the investigator could significantly limit the complete follow up of the patient (e.g. tourist, non-native speaker or does not understand the local language, psychiatric disturbances). 2\. Presence of serious/severe co-morbidities in the opinion of the investigator which may limit short term (i.e. 6 month) life expectancy. 3\. Current participation in a randomised interventional clinical trial.
