Antiaging Checkup: Age Evaluation of the Eyes

Frailty is defined as “a state where various functions of the body decline with aging, making it easier to fall into health disorders,” in other words, it is positioned as an intermediate stage between health and a state requiring care. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has set the goal of “extending healthy life expectancy and reducing health disparities” in the “Basic Policy for Promoting Comprehensive Promotion of National Health” in “Health Japan 21 (2nd).” By preventing frailty and avoiding the need for care, the aim is to extend healthy life expectancy. The Japan Ophthalmology Awareness Conference has started “Eye Frailty” awareness activities.
