Abstract

Abstract

Objective To explore important health problems for Chinese older adults based on the Delphi method. Methods A list of important health problems for Chinese older adults was identified through literature search and expert discussion. Using the Delphi method, 25 experts from various disciplines were invited from August to December 2022. Consultation questionnaires were distributed by email, and expert were asked to select the most important health problems, and assess the importance, controllability, familiarity for each health problems. Active coefficient, selection rate, importance score, controllability score and composite index were analyzed to identify the important health problems for Chinese older adults. Results The active coefficients in two rounds expert consultation were 96.00% (24/25) and 79.17% (19/24), respectively. Considering the expert selection rate, importance, controllability and composite index, five important health problems were identified, including disability of activities of daily life, falls, cognitive impairment, depression, and stroke. Conclusions Through two rounds of Delphi consultation, five important health problems for Chinese older adults were identified, which have certain guiding significance for establishing priorities for health problems of the elderly and formulating relevant health policies in China.
