Caring for older adults goes beyond managing chronic conditions; it’s also about safeguarding their independence, preserving their quality of life, and protecting their dignity.

This course on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is my way of sharing a structured approach that helps us do exactly that, by integrating the 5Ms of Geriatric Medicine into daily practice when encountering elderly patients.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗬𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 refers to the AHA/ACC/AANP/AAP/AABC/ACCP/ACPM/AGS/AMA/ASPC/NMA/PCNA/SGIM Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults, which highlights the importance of lifestyle changes—such as following a heart-healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption—to help prevent and control high blood pressure while lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other chronic illnesses.

Following the release of the updated 2025 multisociety High Blood Pressure Guideline, which redefines how cardiovascular disease risk is assessed and managed in adults, a new ACC/AHA Scientific Statement introduces the PREVENT model (Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Events) and details the supporting evidence and rationale behind its use.

The use of the PREVENT risk calculator to estimate cardiovascular disease risk and guide drug treatment vs. use of pooled cohort equations is one of the biggest changes in the 2025 guideline. PREVENT, which combines measures of cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic health, delivers more precise estimates of 10-year risk of total cardiovascular disease (including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and heart failure).

🟣 BREAKING NEWS

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) — the Philippine government agency responsible for technical-vocational education and skills certification — has officially approved, released, and uploaded the Competency Standards for Dementia Care Level III to its national system for the Implementation Guidelines.

This landmark development represents a major step toward professionalizing dementia care in the Philippines. The new standards set national benchmarks for training and certifying Dementia Care Level III workers, covering:
• Conducting health assessments for people living with dementia
• Implementing tailored treatment plans
• Facilitating therapeutic and recreational activities
• Managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia
• Providing end-of-life care according to patient preferences
• Practicing self-care to maintain service quality

With the Implementation Guidelines now in TESDA’s system, training institutions in the Philippines can prepare to align their programs once nationwide application begins — paving the way for stronger recognition of dementia care as a specialized profession.
