AB  - Even  in  older  adults,  preventive  interventions  can  limit  disease  and  disability.  The  heterogeneity  of  medical  conditions,  life  expectancy,  and  goals  of  treatment,  however,  requires  a  thoughtful  and  individualized  application  of  prevention  guidelines.  This  approach  tailors  preventive  interventions  to  an  individual,  balancing  benefits  and  harms  in  the  context  of  a  patient’s  life  expectancy  and  values  rather  than  using  a  one-size-fits-all  approach  based  solely  on  age.
