Abstract

Background: Identifying the risk factors for the health of the elderly and designing interventions to improve the health of the elderly is one of the priorities of the health care system in the world today. This first requires the promotion of scientific knowledge in the field of health problems of the elderly. Methods: In this review conducted in 1399, all studies with the keyword of aging or age-related diseases such as atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, dementia, frailty, cognitive impairment, daily life function, nutritional status with organizational affiliation of the Endocrinology and Metabolism Research center or the Elderly Health Research Center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences were reviewed without time limit in databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scalar search engines. Results: A total of 115 studies were found with these keywords. By examining the sampling, method, data analysis and also the removal of similar data, 63 articles were reviewed. Conclusion: In this regard, the Elderly Health Research center has conducted several studies to localize tools for assessing the health of the elderly, identifying common diseases of the elderly, the prevalence of diseases and syndromes of the elderly and designing several interventional studies in the form of three large studies Kahrizak elderly study, Bushehr elderly health study and Birjand elderly longitudinal study has been discussed in this review. © 2021, Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
