What this trial studies

The GEROS Project aims to create a Service-Learning program that combines Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and health promotion for older adults aged 60 and above. University students from various health disciplines will engage with these older adults in a participatory approach, conducting assessments to evaluate frailty, intrinsic capacity, and quality of life. This initiative fosters intergenerational learning and community involvement, allowing students to apply their knowledge while benefiting the health of older participants. The study employs a non-experimental mixed-method design to gather insights from both students and older adults.
