Lifestyle Medicine and the Older Adult

Learning objectives:

1. Identify valid measures of successful aging and evaluate how lifestyle interventions contribute to improved health outcomes in aging populations
2. Apply evidence-based lifestyle medicine interventions (including sleep, physical activity, nutrition, and social connection) to the management of chronic conditions in older adults to improve mood, function, and quality of life.
3. Develop interdisciplinary, patient-centered care plans for older adults with complex conditions by incorporating the 5Ms framework (What Matters, Mentation, Mobility, Medications, Multicomplexity) and connecting patients to appropriate community and behavioral health resources.
