Definition of a comprehensive geriatric assessmentThe Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a multidimensional and multidisciplinary evaluation of the medical status, activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental ADL (IADL), cognitive function, mood, motivation, quality of life (QOL), and social background of older adults.Table 1 shows the components of the CGA and its main tools.Further details are provided in Chapter 1.Although the CGA effectively predicts the future course of older adults, the primary aim is not to evaluate the current status or predict prognosis.The main objective of the CGA is to provide personalized medical care by developing holistic management plans and targeted interventions based on comprehensive assessments.This guideline emphasizes combining the CGA with subsequent interventions. 1 Note: △ = Partially independent; Â = Fully dependent.
