AB Even  in  the  very  elderly,  preventive  interventions  can  limit  disease  and  disability.  The  heterogeneity  of  the  older  population  in  terms  of  medical  conditions,  life  expectancy,  and  goals  of  treatment,  however,  requires  a  more  thoughtful  and  individualized  application  of  prevention  guidelines  rather  than  a  one-size-fits-all  approach  based  solely  on  age.
