Acceptance of the adapted Health Risk Appraisal for Older Persons questionnaire was high and its feasibility supported. The findings identified a high prevalence of potentially modifiable risk factors for ill health and disability in older people with large variations in prevalence rates and awareness between sites. The yield supports the further development and evaluation of the approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
