Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a head-to-foot evaluation approach for individuals aged 65 and above that examines five critical areas: Memory, Mood, Muscle, Mobility, and Microbiome. This holistic assessment is essential because elderly patients often have multiple health conditions that require coordinated care beyond just treating organ-specific issues like blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Dr. Prasun Chatterjee, a geriatric medicine expert with over 15 years of experience at AIMS New Delhi and more than 5,000 dementia patients treated, emphasizes that all elderly patients should meet with a geriatrician to receive this comprehensive evaluation.
