Similarly, this period saw increased age-consistent pervasiveness of seeking provider therapy for mass loss and behavior modification to assume healthy living strategies. According to the US Preventive Services Task Force, healthcare workers should refer older adults to rigorous, multi-component, and behavior interferences comprising management approaches. Besides, they should also offer nutritional and physical exercise changes, address change obstacles, self-monitor, and embrace practices to uphold healthy routines.
