Healthy ageing in Dubai
Healthy ageing focuses on cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive, bone and mobility health. Structured mid-life reviews often prevent later illness.
Overview
A healthy-ageing review combines cardiovascular risk assessment, metabolic bloods, muscle and bone health markers, cognitive screening where relevant and a personalised prevention plan.
Common risk factors
