- Hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol
- Heart disease and stroke prevention
- Arthritis, osteoporosis, and balance issues
- Memory changes, dementia, and mood disorders
- Vision, hearing, and mobility difficulties

Early detection and consistent follow-up help maintain health and quality of life for seniors.
