A Fall Prevention Feasibility Trial for People With HIV and Alcohol Use.

The increase in the global older adult population results in challenges for healthcare systems, as population aging brings specific demands, such as an increase in the prevalence and severity of diseases, especially non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). In Brazil, strategies to improve healthcare for older adults are constantly being developed with the aim of ensuring that the health needs of this population group are met in a comprehensive and effective manner. Strategies translated into public health policies should consider the specific needs of older adults and the cultural and social context, aiming for quality in the services offered. From this perspective, Primary Health Care (PHC), defined as a set of measures aimed at health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, harm reduction, and health maintenance, plays a key role in the care of older adults. PHC is one of the operational structures of the Health Care Network. Through the Family Health Strategy (FHS), the Ministry of Health seeks to reorganize PHC and achieve the objectives of universal access, equity, and comprehensiveness, which correspond to the Brazilian Health System principles. FHS aims to expand healthcare for the population, focusing on the family and the community, providing better health conditions for its users.
