The aims also include assessment the frequency of follow-up treatments needed, and recommendations given for lifestyle changes and evidence-based drug treatment, as well as fulfillment of these recommendations. Also, participants feedback on the Turku Senior Health Clinic will be assessed. In addition, based on the results, recommendation for the content and implementation of preventive health clinic targeted to older people will be provided.
