[Expert consensus on risk management and interventions for disability and dementia of the elderly population in the community (2026 edition)].

With the rapid aging of the population, disability and dementia have become major public health challenges affecting the health and quality of life of the elderly in the community. The multidisciplinary collaborative intervention model for the risk of disability and dementia in the elderly, covering key areas such as clinical medicine, public health and social support systems, has become a current research focus. This expert consensus concentrates on eight core functional dimensions-mobility, cognition, emotion, vision, hearing, excretion, swallowing, and comorbidity management-and the corresponding modifiable risk factors. It systematically reviews the clinical evidence and latest advances in relevant interventions in China and abroad. By integrating opinions from multidisciplinary experts through the Delphi method, the consensus ultimately formulates 15 intervention strategies and recommendations across these eight dimensions for the elderly in the community, with the aim of establishing effective approaches to delay the progression of disability and dementia, providing evidence-based support for primary health-care services, and promoting healthy ageing in China.
